nope. This has already been answered. If they stacked, everyone would just buy a bunch of elites.

right now two elites stack into legendary.

[MechaDraco]

2 elite's just make a legendary, you cute little troll you.

[Paralax]

He wants the 4 months game time and 160$ cbils

[Skadi]

You can get two Elites, first you buy it on one account. Then log out, click create account and make a new account. There you go two Elite packages


But no you cant get 4 months of bonus xp and $160 of in game currency. You can just support the game more, get an extra month of bonus, three extra mechs, and support the devs and game more.

Also 4 extra stable slots for your 4 founder mechs, they don't count from the usual slots.

Why would anyone do it though?
All that you'd get over & above Ledge' is 1x more Premium month & some more C-Bills, but if you're willing to spend an extra $60 for 2x Elites you may as well just wait and buy those things in the normal manner for less than an extra $60..

And as said above, the *real* value of Ledge' is the mechs & slots.

*EDIT* Wft am I doing trolling the forums at quarter past 3!?

I got the legendary just for the 4x mechs from start. Didn't know my name will be in the credits.

Name in the credits is worth $60. Now, I have to figure out how to change my name.

Not more "C-Bills".. more MC.. which is the premium money.. like gold is in WoT and Tribes:Ascend. C-Bills are earned IN GAME, MC is bought.

So he wants to get $80 MC + $80 MC.. and 4 months of premium.. the extra month of premium (compared to the Legendary) is not what they are looking at.

[Morhadel]

ya i wanted the 160 and 4 months.

Strange though that a person can still select the Elite Founders package even though they currently own it. Is the Legendary option still clickable for those that bought Legendary?

The button still registers as a link but it dosnt take you anywhere and it says current level.

If you really want 2 Elites then just make 2 separate accounts and buy an Elite on each. This is not against any rules. It's your money and they're getting an extra 60$ in the process so I don't see them ever caring. Your currency would be spread out over 2 accounts but you could simply buy different stuff on each.(Like Light+Medium on the first and Heavy+Assault on the second) The only real downside I could see is that one Premium will be effectively wasted.(Since both will activate come release and you can't play both at the same time) But they might turn out to give us the ability to control when our Premium activates, meaning you could in theory grind one then activate and grind the second. Who knows?

It never occurred to me to think about running 2 accounts with dual Elites instead of running Legendary. Let's see... you'd get more Mech slots(9 x 2 > 12), an extra month of Premium(4 vs 3), and 2x the C-Bills(80$ x 2 > 80$). But it would cost you 2 permanent Mech boosts and skins(2 Founder Mechs vs 4), which are honestly worth more than the 30$ the listed value leads you to believe. Dual Elites or 1 Legendary? 230$ value for 120$ is obviously better than 170 for 120$ too. Tough choice. Dual Elites sure looks better, but my decision however is already made. It's not like people like myself can get a refund.

Dual Elites would give them the same amount of money as an Legendary. How exactly is it a scam?
