So yea, did I understand correctly, any player need to play ONE Match on 27th December, and he'll get premium time, MC, Cbills, 2 hero mechs AND 25 extra stockings?
What is the meaning of this? Why do we get so many goodies out of the blue, without even a challange? What's the catch?

The catch? You have to use some of your precious time with your family to play 1 game on the 27th of Dec.

[Juodas Varnas]

A PR stunt.

[TheArisen]

Just play one match on the 27th, that's it, nothing else.

Jokes on them, I don't have a family.

Seriously tho, remember all other free stuff that we get over these years:
That meh Centurion hero, ONE non-hero mech in case your side win in FW, Few millions of cbills and a non hero mech in case you complete pretty tough challenge, or tine chance of getting a champ mech out of the stockings.
Why would they suddenly get so generous?

Not that I'm complaining or anything, just thought there should be a reason for such sudden change in their gift-giving policy.

Santa is happy this year ! Yeah !

[Kargush]

We've all been really nice this year?

But come on, people. Don't complain, or they might decide to either not do this again, or even drop the idea entirely.

Free hero mechs certainly seems like a reason to potentially reinstall the game for a day.

[Khobai]

the catch is you have to play this game

[JC Daxion]

They have actually had a lot of mech give-a-ways over the years this time of year, and also C-bill sales..


This one however is easily the best yet! (other years it has been a reward in a grabbag, or an event.

Last year for example had the NIX cent give away.

[Jingseng]

gifts dont have catches.

that's why they are called gifts.

[Novakaine]

Free stuff after a year of........... Well hot damn.

I suspect it may be an attempt to lure new players in. At least that's how I would do it, if I was a game developer. People might create alternate accounts, play that one match for the goodies and give it to a friend who might be interested in the game. The stuff you get is pretty decent for starters. Once you know what you are doing after 2-3 months, you get the new Hero mechs. Motivation is kept up, you keep playing.

They must have had a profitable year ! To all of the players that buy everything, thank you ! Merry ho-ho !!!

[Brain Cancer]

The catch is if you want more Omnipods for the new Clan hero, you have to buy a package.

Other than that, there isn't one.

The Catch? This will be the LAST XMAS for MWO... Enjoy the final SALTY Season while it lasts. LOL!

[TheArisen]

I like how people get a ton of things for free and they complain. Is it really so hard to just appriciate free stuff?
