To start I want to say that I only play clan. That said, I was just wondering what this game could have been had we had a succession war era. Imagine the CW,excuse me FW is now the new word,with house against house and merc units thrown in just for fun. Balance discussions? No need as your lazors are just as good as mine. We could have had 5 factions + mercs fighting for the IS and not just IS vs Clan! We could have had a Battletech game instead of MWO:" a game set in someting slightly resembleing the Battletech universe... sometimes". Sadly we never got the Succession War (although 95% of the IS mechs we have are from that timeline) , we never got merc units out there trying to make a name for them selves, and we never got real Battletech fanboy stuff. I imagine its far too late for any of this to be corrected, as many of us have invested too mutch in our nerffed out clan mechs. PGI you really did make a game that looks like battletech but ya also made an epic fail in releasing the clan far too early. I for one would take a trade in for my clan gear in exchange for a roll back to the succession war, even though I would miss my beloved SCR terribly.
Actually with PVE Game/Content? comming, you may actually get to play thru the Succession War's, though Russ hasn't said what the PVE MWO is going to entail yet. We'll have to wait and see.

I wonder how many people would have played more had the game been set in 3015.
This almost happened before MWO released.. MWO was originally going to be a PVE game called Mechwarrior Reboot, which got cancelled in its early stages due to Harmony Gold not wanting to release the "Unseen" mechs, which was going to be based in 3015
