Greetings all,

While I understand the benefits that Premium Time provides, I can't seem to find any info on the timer mechanics (no doubt poor google-foo on my part).

Does the timer count down ONLY while I'm playing? Or... does it continue counting down even when I'm not playing? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Regards

Active premium time counts down regardless of you being online or not. However, PT rewards only become active the first time you log in after you redeemed them.

Thanks Ekson. That kind of blows though, since 99% of my PT purchase evaporates while I'm sleeping or at work (I just play a little bit every day). I'll need to be very judicious with my purchase/activation of premium Time.

But thanks again for clearing that up!

Check the regular events and the lootbag events. They often reward PT.

Premium Time starts counting the next time you log into MWO, at least for Premium Time from Loot Bags.

So if you really must time your Premium Time to play:

~Log off from MWO game (preferably this would be longer break from MWO)
~Redeem the Premium Time (typically from Loot Bag & Events)
~DO NOT log into MWO until you are ready to play for an extended and/or intensive MWO sessions for a few days, to maximize your Premium Time benefits.

(Personally, I'll just forget about Premium Time situation and play as much MWO as possible for fun!)

For the Loot Bag events, do not claim every bag. Be judicious, and during the event click one bag at a time before you start playing until it pops up the premium time. Just remember that after an event ends, you have 14 days to claim your rewards/bags or they go proof/bye bye!!
