I mean all mech packs that are available here (https://mwomercs.com/store), not only new player packs.

sorry i miss read what you where writing.
i read it, as the new bundles was only available on Steam.

I'm afraid that the "New Player Pack--Inner Sphere" is a temporary for now, since it's been placed in the "Bundle" section of the store.

Any Premium Mech Package being sold in the main Store page (www.mwomercs.com/store), and also the Gift Store (www.mwomercs.com/store/gifts) should be treated as being permanently sold on a prima facie basis. Therefore booth the Stryker Booster Pack and the upcoming Warden Booster Pack would be on sale for the foreseeable future.

Anything else being sold is a time-limited basis; it might come back after a looooong hiatus, and it might not.
eg: Steam Mech Performance Packs [Note: I hope these will come back to MWO webpage!!]
eg: MW5 Pre-Order bonus Special Variant Mechs for MWO in-game [Hope these will come back!!]
eg: Phoenix Mechs
eg: Special Variant version of Phoenix Mechs offered back in Dec'2020
eg: Bundle packages on the [Bundle] webpage of MWO

Yeah, sure *grins*. The K9 sure are fast enough to run around the enemies and pepper em with that. Especially if you hit the sirens first

Aha there you go.
No weapons at all. Just circle around with the sirens ON.

Bought a new player bundle and can confirm that both cockpit items (C-bill medallion and C-bill hologram) are 5% IS only mech c-bill boosts.

The MC hero sale is on for another 7 days. It might be a good idea to extend the sale a bit longer since the MW5 launch is in about 4 days. This is a small window for the 50% off hero mechs to be purchased by new players.

New players incoming may need so more time to figure out what MC, GSP, GXP, etc. actually are (I didn't know at the very beginning) and 3000MC on a hero sale is a great amount for buying a decent Heavy or some Assault hero chassis, so a new player could be equipped with a nice hero and enough MC to buy a 2nd hero. (Assuming this is what you are intending with the sale?) The tight overlap in time means some new players will sign up for MWO after the sale has ended?

P.S. This month is my 1 year anniversary in MWO. It's easily been my most played game of all-time. I came across from MW5 when the free Quarantine Wolverine was on offer and have been playing ever since. I have over 100 mechs and enjoy playing with my unit members and some others. Played a comp last year and also enjoy FP (wish it was more popular). Anyway, I'm living proof that new players can stick around.

[w0qj]

Well, wishing you a Happy MWO Anniversary in advance then!

[Agent Super Chicken]

Once the new players join and potentially find a unit, could there be another sale on letter and number decals in June/July?
Could really use a few...

[imhoopjones]

This needs to be a rotating thing like the complete collections. A new player should ALWAYS be able to get a starting bundle regardless of time of year.

[w0qj]

And a Clan version of this too

I also want to Gift a pack to a friend (hopefully get him signed up for "Thanks For The Boost" event, and start playing MWO again).

A Clan Version New Player Pack would also be awesome!

[Edit]
See below for Aidan Crenshaw's comments on MWO Active Premium Time from buying Premium Mech Packs such as IS New Player Pack.

As others have already mentioned, when you buy the IS New Player Pack, the 30-day Premium Time actives immediately (what MWO calls "Active Premium Time").
[/Edit]

I've got the feeling that at your 35-day absence, the IS New Player Packs might still be in MWO web store for now...
(Since MWO said Steam IS New Player Pack is being worked upon to be available in June ASP...)

Perhaps you can consider to buy it then...

When does the premium time start? I am unable to play for . . . 35 days.

[Edit]
Backdated edit:

T B Kind,
Assuming that you have no Premium Time ticking off right now:
Aidan Crenshaw mentioned below that if you buy the Premium Mech Packs such as IS New Player Pack.
Do not log into MWO until after 35 days when you can come back to play regularly.
Upon your first login successful MWO login (35 days later) after your IS New Player Pack purchase,
you will then get your Active Premium Time of 30 days along with other goodies in this Pack.

==>If this method backfires on you, you can contact this poster (w0qj), who can be the guarantor for up to 30 days of replacement Premium Time should this method backfire on you, T B Kind!

Premium Time activates the moment it's injected into your account. That would be the first time you log into the client after acquiring said PT.

2. So does this "Ultimate Pack" for "New Player Pack--Inner Sphere" qualify for the Annual (loyalty) Rewards Program hopefully towards the end of this year, towards the "IS Top Tier Reward" category hopefully?
Personally, I'm now planning which IS Top Tier Ultimate Mech Package to get!

http://mwomercs.com/...rewards-program

Most likely it would work towards the top tier pack. If i am recalling right you need to have bought a few packs and that will add up to the top tier reward. There are only a few top teir packs, for instance Resistance pack, Or any of the Waves from the clan side of things. But you could say buy a few of the "mech packs" that had 4 mechs, 2+champion+hero and a few of those added counted.

That is how it's been in the past, i would assume it will be the same. A cupcake and a reward mech. though this year with all the work going on in the game i would be highly surprised if they did not add new hero mechs for the annual rewards verse. It would be great if they added new ones again

Right, you need to log in for it to activate, it's the way all injects work. You can wait weeks and then the next time you log in it activates.
