If there was a mutually agreed contract between the playerbase to fund specific activities in MWO would you contribute to it? The contract would contain agreed upon goals and objectives and release funding upon reaching specific milestones based upon a realistic project plan.

Each of the following would be potential candidates and be mutually exclusive from the other proposals:

1) PvE

2) 3025 option

3) Stock mech option

4) Solaris

5) Viable CW

The reason I ask is these are things that PGI is not actively working and the community will have to fund on our own if we ever want to see them. For me I could easily see contributing to 2, 4 and 5. And by contribute I mean real $$.

How about you?

[Mazzyplz]

crowdfunding sounds murky to me.

remember mw:tactics?

[Deathlike]

When PGI is attached to the name, the answer is simple: No.

[Tyler Valentine]

I genuinely like Russ, love the game and think these latest patch notes are some of the most encouraging things I've seen yet... that said... would I give these snake oil salesmen my money [again] yet...? No. Keep building my trust, I've got disposable income to burn...

[CycKath]

Yes, technically I already did, but I would again. But like all crowd funding I only chip in as much as I'd be willing to lose. Playing the closed beta convinced me to go Legendary, but even whaling in MWO I'd need to see something to convince me it would likely result in something I want.

The mech rescale and the Comm wheel AND decals are quite a bit of new features. I think by fall this game is shaping up really nice and maybe players attitude will improve.

As to the question. 2 and 3 are stupid at this point. The rest all could be amazing. With enough awesome concept art anything is possible.

We pretty much ARE crowdfunding the future of MWO every time someone buys a mech pack, mech bay, or premium time (etc).

[Monkey Lover]

I would crowdfund another Pgi game but not anything added to this one.

[Davegt27]

for PVE yep where do I send the money?

nope, because I remember mw:tactics and transverse...

no more goodwill money, I will only pay money for features delivered...

[Kali Rinpoche]

Yep. Sure would. Especially PvE. I'm just not a fan of F2P which works out more to free to whine. If it would take a Crowdsource round to get major structural content changes, then I'm all in.

[Y E O N N E]

None of those has concrete details on the implementation to give me confidence that it's what I want, so...no.

[Merit Lef]

1, 4, and 5 for me. I'd put money into that.

Crowdfund anything PGI is doing? HELL NO!! My wallet remains closed....

1. Do not really care. PVE assets added to PvP to enhance gameplay and objectives then Yes.

2. No

3. Already announced this will be possible soon

4. I would like to see this, might pay

5. Not if it bears any resemblance to the way it is now

Not really. You are financing whatever PGI decides to develop, which based on the last town hall isn't much. Sure they said they would add features in the future but do you really think they will follow through or is it just more window hangings until they announce the next tournament that no one wanted?

[Xetelian]

I'd crowd fund PVE but only as much as it cost to buy the campaign, not dropping a courtesy 100$ or anything extra.

Kinda feel we're owed this one already.

PVE seems like reasonable "DLC" material, though I would wait for reviews before I payed for it.

No way I waited 10 years for this game and to be honest I cant stand to play MWO anymore after 4 years I still don't see what I wanted in a new BattleTech or MechWarrior game.

Which was a new MSN gamming zone setup MechWarriro4 Mercenaries multiplayer style play and Socialization and Private run leagues you can drop with friends and play 1v1-12v12 for free.
