Premium time started immediately.

But I'm not ready to game immediately.

Is there a way to manage premium time?

It just keeps counting down.

Older mech packs might still have banked premium time, but it's all active now.

Which, is actually pretty standard in games like this.

Wow...why the hell would anyone actually purposefully BUY it?

I'm willing to bet that most people don't buy it specifically.

I've never bought a day of premium time specifically, but I have over 200 days through mechpacks and events.

Again, most free to play games that have a +whatever boost "time" start it when you buy it or when you log in the first time after buying it with no way to "pause" it between.

I went through this lol. I still keep the game on 20 hours a day just because it is always running, lol.

I buy $13.00 Locust package, I sell the 3 mechs and I have 3 mech bays and 30 days of PT.

Contact MWO Support... It might take a couple, but if you can explain your case properly, then you might be able to have it changed to "Banked" Premium Time... Or at least have it paused until your next login, after which it would resume.

Thinking about it, there's a Feature Suggestion Thread active about this exact issue... Perhaps you could Have a read @ https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/261278-premium-time-control/, add your thoughts, and possibly vote on it too?

Yeah, all Premium time is active now, but not until you've logged into the game and it redeemed the content, unless I'm mistaken. I got 30 days with the Solaris pack but only used like a weekend of it because Battletech came out and I haven't played MWO since.

Only $1 for 3 mech bays is a good deal...

Not to mention the c-bills from selling the stuff. F'king genius. I never gave those packs a second glance but that's a bargain, for MWO anyway.

Or wait till Xmas and buy a year for 1/4 price due to MC sale and premium time sale. 100 bucks gets you a few loyalty mechs, 40 mechbays, a year of premium time and a few heroes.
