First of all I like to thank PGI for creating my much wanted Christmas warhorn. THANK YOU PGI !!!!!

Secondly, I just saw the news that 30 days premium time has been added to the Solaris 7 pack. THANK YOU PGI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However I was wondering if the premium time from the Solaris 7 pack will run first or will it be banked. I ask because I bought the Fafnir pack as well which will come with 60 days premium time. I expect that the 30 day premium time will run after the 60 days premium time or vice-a-versa but hope that both do not run at the same time due to game glitches and what-nots. I would prefer that the Solaris 7 premium time to be banked but I expect one to follow after the other.

Thirdly, for all the light, medium, and heavy pilots out there I apologize to all these pilots that do not like the assault missiles boat builds that I and others do have. I realize it creates great heartache and anger to the aforementioned pilots and for that I am truly sorry. I realize that many people will tell me how to play the game according to their expectations but I do not tell people how to play the game and I expect the same from the members of my unit. I know this does not happen often but it does happen. Fortunately for me I play the game for the benefit of the team and my enjoyment. I have too much stuff in real life that makes me crazy I don’t want it in my gaming.

We are the people of the Mechwarrior Online community and we should be more tolerant of each other’s play style and skill as with other PVP games. We should not bicker or become angry, and there is significant percentage of players that do, but just have fun and understand that in every match there will be a winner and a loser and once in a while the tie. This could be a bigger community if we just apply sportsmanship rather than the fragile form of anger management.

Again…
Thank You PGI !!!!

Premium time adds up, so you will have 60 days of it.

Just play as you like, most people don't really care, they might curse you silently at their place (I will if I see you on you lurm assault) but will never bother to comment on it, sometimes people who curse you are right sometimes they aren't but invariably you will only remember the ones who voice up their opinion in the most rude manner. Expect it and brush it aside, it is not worth to give a damn about somebody's opinion you will never meet.

All Premium time is the same & gives the same bonuses. The new bonuses for premium time apply to all premium time you might have had banked or have active. Any premium time you buy will just add on to the end of any premium time you might already have or will get from pre-orders. All premium time available these days is active premium time so it'll just add on to the end of your premium time.

If you look at the store descriptions, you will see- 30 Days Premium Time (BANKED) or 30 days Active Premium Time. It Looks like the switch happened with the Civil War packs. Pre-Civil War come with banked and everything after is active.

Both accumulate towards your Premium Time Pool so they can't run simultaneously, it's just that Banked needs to be activated once your Active runs out (if you have both) or you'll lose the benefits until you do. Make sure, if you buy a mech with Banked, that when the time comes to activate it, you do it through your forum profile rather than in game. If you activate your Banked time in game, it will activate ALL of it. From the forum/website you can actually do 30 day increments.

The Premium time you are getting is all active so it will start as soon as you log into the game after April 17th. However, it will run sequential so in your case you will have 30 days for the the Hero pack and 60 days for the Fafnir pack which result in having Premium running for 90 days after logging in.

More importantly, are we ever going to see an option to burn banked premium time a day or two at a time? If we don't, I'll probably never activate any of mine. I simply don't have any way to schedule myself a month of solid play time every day, and to activate it without such a plan would just be wasteful. And I don't waste...

I have nearly a year of premium time running and half a year banked.. Its not hard to get.

[Jackal Noble]

487 days, me thinks active ATM. Haven't checked my banked in a while.

Well said but, unfortunately, too late....

Anger management ? You can't fix toxic meritocracy and the only solution is a radical "factionplayotomy" with a dose of IV Solaris, to remove any latent cancerous "getGuD" antigens that remain.....

You are spot on. And, from those of us in the peanut gallery, who only play events, well said..... We'd only return if the game itself loses the "team" concept and has squad play only... Like WoW's does with 3 ship divisions and clans...

Again, well said.
