Clanners are Pay2Play only.

Dirty freebirths.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened XD... I wonder how much they'd charge, hypothetically.

I'm really interested to see where the game goes during the Clan invasion, since it does give the Inner Sphere houses a common enemy, inbetween all the in fighting.

I don't want scrubs fighting for the Clans. And I want easy targets :)

And it's not like inner sphere didn't eventually get clan mechs.

The game has to run a full year before we should expect a "Clan" content patch/addon that brings the invasion and OmniMechs for the playerbase. And when the day comes and we have to pay 10 or 20 bucks for the 3052 hardwarebook stuff, why not? If I enjoyed playing that game a full year with the squabble in the Inner Sphere and then get the new stuff and the chance to fight for Clan Jade Falcon for a small fee, I would pay.

I would have absolutely no problems to pay 20 dollars to get to play as Clan. I grew up with the Clans, they are who I identify with not surat inner sphere barbarians. :)

I agree. I already buy one or two games a year. I would pay for an expansion that puts a larger scope to the game.

When I think of Clans and honor, using and abusing Pay2Win technology isn't something that comes to mind.

But it would probably sell like crazy, wouldn't it? Haha--...ha....

I just hope you have an entry exam at the verry least. your fancy clan mechs are a crutch for your lack of skill. once eyery kid in china with a laptop starts playing mad cats will be as common as goldfarmers and your pilots just as average. I bet most those who you will find within your ranks dont even know what clan honnor is and do not deserve a bloodname. I look forward to taking trophies of you clowns with my 3030 hatchetman but i expect beter sport from the dracs.

This. It'll probably abused.. but It's a nice option for the portion of us that actually wants to RP as Clanners.

I'd have no problem with Clans being paid content. It would be a fairly good idea, I guess. Plenty of choices to make as an Inner Sphere player, anyway, and my chosen mech isn't Clan tech anyway.
Although, there would always be the freedom to just pay and play as a Clanner if someone were to ever feel such a desire...
Not sure who'd want to be a trashborn, though.

We will have the Inner Sphere well mapped for the clanners when they do arrive. Glory to the Wolfs!

Charge for making your own merc group, done and done.

To be a member of cannon Clans or Sphere should be free.

Clan honor is not the same as freebirth Draconis honor. Clan Honor is bred by success. A dead Drac is still dead no matter how much honor he claims to have.

Problem will come when their promises will start to bump into each other. They promised F2P model we will like, so if the Clans would be payed, then IS must have mechs of equal quality, becouse it would become P2W. But they also promised cannon lore, which means Clans should wipe the floor with IS mechs and here comes the hard part: go for greed or promise.

I gotta say, I would pay for every aspect of it.

If they wanna charge me 50 bucks for a Gladiator, and 5 bucks for every clan tech weapon or system to go on it i would pay.

Gladly.

If it is going to take that level of commitment to make sure that this game is a success, and continues to be in the future. I think that every serious Mechwarrior fan should be willing to ensure that this is a profitable venture. How many of you were happy with a compleat lack of development over the last what? 5 years? 10? How many of you were excited 2 years ago when Smith and Tinker started talking about this?

That would be an interesting way to go about the whole unseen reseen issue. Maybe you get the hideous reseen marauder free but you can buy the original marauder. Regardless it looks like the art department is making quite the impact on the mechs appereance so we may get a re-reseen version anyways

I wouldn't mind this. I loathe the clans so I'm looking forward to holding back the tide in my rickety, old-tech, IS heavy. Zero-ing out you clan slime will be all the sweeter for doing it on the cheap. :)
