Got a question or two if anyone can help me out please. Looking at getting the Legendary Founder's Program and I was wondering:
1- When does the 90 day clock on that start? August 07?
2 - I am going to be deploying soon, can I get it paused until I either get internet or until I get home?
3 - Is there going to be any "IP" locks on the servers? I have run into the problem of being in certain countries and getting banned or locked out because of the IP I am netting in from.

Think those are my biggest concerns before diving into this. Dang, all these years of wanting/waiting for a game like this and it has to release RIGHT before I have to leave for a year. Typical

1. Yep its from august 7 from memory, i think mentioned in a dev blog.
2. I'd say not.
3. I'd also so there will not be any IP blocks as they are having a world wide server at launch and then they are adding Europe dedicated and maybe more.

matux is correct, the Devs are kinda looking into pausing or something for the premium activation but I dont think it's gonna happen so most likely the Aug 7th.

The Devs have explicitly stated there will be no IP locks on the servers. You will be able to access the beta from wherever in the world assuming you're not blocked locally. This was a matter of some concern to a lot of Australian/European players who registered for the Beta and Founders Pack already and has been confirmed.

1) Probably
2)Stay safe out there. They havent said for sure, I imagine there are a bunch of people who are in similar boats (wanting to buy but not able to play immediately) so maybe youre in luck.
3)They've said no IP blocking. So take your laptop if ya can.

The free months given to us is simply to show off the Premium option. Yes; its accumulated value; yes, it is good, and yes, you will be missing out on value. But there are parts of the Founders program that will last for the lifetime of the game. The value of the bonus C-Bills as well as prestige given from owning the speciality mechs will be more then worth the Premium Preview.

Get the Founders packs for the free money (which is there until you use it) and the mechs (which last the lifetime of the game which hopefully will be a very very long time.)

Hopefully the devs do get the pause thing but please do not miss out on the C-Bill Boosts and Special mechs because you were concerned about the Premium. You will regret it later.

As for Deployment; good luck and stay safe.

No such thing as "free" months, we paid for them in a package..But the founders mechs and C-bills boost may be incentive....not sure what I would do.

Might be worth messaging the CS to put a note on your account when you ship out (if you know where you're going?). They probably banned you thinking the account was hacked.

[Glendel]

Yeah, was thinking I will just send an email to them once things get a couple weeks out and let them know that it may be logging on from one IP over seas and maybe an IP here in the states depending on if my wife logs it while during my over seas night hours.

I am just curious. Is the redemtion code the transaction code on the email purchase conformation? Also will this be only accessable when the game goes live? I know these sound like dumb questions, but I would rather ask now than later.
