Greetings MechWarriors!

[color=#FEFEFE]
We wanted to take a moment to express our team's tremendous gratitude at your support of our project via the Founders Program. We are working extremely hard every day to achieve our goal of making this game a global phenomenon. Your support, via the Founders Program, is making that goal possible.[/color]
[color=#FEFEFE]
On that note, we are also today announcing that the Founder’s Program will close on Thursday, September 6th. This is your last remaining period of time to pick up some exclusive MechWarrior Online goodies, since these will NEVER go on sale again! [/color]

[color="#fefefe"][Admittedly, seeing these custom Founders Mechs in battlefield action is pretty sweet!][/color]

[color=#FEFEFE]
Again, we want to thank every one of our fans for their amazing support. We wouldn’t be here without you![/color]
[color=#FEFEFE]

[color=#FEFEFE]

[color="#fefefe"]Ok I like e-mails like this, it basically says a nice big Thank you for being a founder and supporting the game and then goes on to ask if I would like to buy a founders pack before they stop being sold in September.[/color]

Anyone else see the flawed logic in this?

I'll be honest here, when I first saw that e-mail in my inbox and read that it was from MechWarrior Online I thought I had finally made it into the beta. :D

I believe the reminder to buy a founders pack, even though you have a founders account, is more meant for those who have say an elite package. It's letting them know if they want to upgrade they have until the given time. Not really meant for the Legendary founders such as yourself.

They're just announcing it to subscribers before they update the site. If you already have a package then this is alerting you to the time limit that you will have to upgrade it to a higher tier.(Remember, you can only upgrade while the offer is available. Once it ends, you will be forever stuck as Veteran or Elite even if you later wanted to upgrade. So if you want to upgrade, you must do it while the offer is open.)

Would have been nice if they had it slated for mid Sept instead of 5 days before those of us that get paid twice a month get paid.

That e-mail probably got sent to all members of this site, regardless of any founder status, to inform the non-founders awaiting open beta or closed beta access permission that their last chance to get a founder package is September 6th. But kudos to them for putting the word out on an actual deadline.

So.. having 3 months is not enough time? I don't see the logic in your statement. There has to be a point when it cuts off.. you've had a lot of time to make this purchase/upgrade..

I don't think this is a legit email... I think it's scam/phishing email the links seem fake don't buy any founders packages from any of the links in the email... go directly to this site... There are noticeable differences in the url between the link to the founder page in this "newsletter" and the founder page on the official site

Well in all honesty I thought the newsletter was dead... since i havent gotten anything from it till today.... and why not trust it but with a grain of salt... and kinda use it as a approx date of end of beta till your "offical annoucement"
