What if we'd prefer to save our premium accounts until the game is out of Beta? I for one would not want to have my premium account subscription begin while the game is in Beta.

Am still unsure if i'll purchase the Founders Package as am not sure if my laptop can handle the graphics? Is there any minimum spec card wise?

Great update, it will be something good to share with my fellow MechWarrior's who don't pop on here regularly.

Anything new you can report about Community Warfare and, in particular, the Merc Corps HQ, please?

[DeeSaster]

Thanks for the headsup, guys. Very well done!

[Draslin Darkforge]

Great update. Thanks for the post! When can we expect the NDA to be lifted? I have a lot of guildmates who are really interested in this game, and I can't discuss it with them yet...

[Marion Grace]

Thanks for the update and a better understanding of FTP

For a free to play game, Open Beta basically is launch.

  Important: You will be refunded the entire amount each time we patch the game during Closed Beta & once again when we commence the Open Beta.

Once all Founder's Members are in the Open Beta, your premium account bonuses will be treated as "live" and any MC used will be permanently spent.

This is great.

This does clear up a lot of questions regarding our early access.

*sadly stares at "PENDING" button*

I honestly cannot afford to pay for a founder's account so I keep hoping to get into Beta.

Thanks for the update though I already assumed/knew most of the above. I honestly don't understand why all the crazy rumors have been flying around.

Yah, not really sure why companies think that "release" or "launch" are not when you start making transactions permanent.

Open beta = launch

Good to know that all currency will be rest.

[Manny Rhyde]

how much will buying MC cost? will there be bundles we have to buy to get x amount of credits?

no, it was probably a joke...

Don't fool yourself, he clearly states that everything will be reset so players are on the same level from beginning of open beta. Not joke serious.

I wonder what time this patch will be at since I am hoping to play some tonight.

[RaNDoMPReCiSioN]

So you guys are extending the founders program until an undisclosed date. That's just wrong in my opinion. It's not particularly nice to know that we, who made every effort (and spent a pretty penny in the process,) to secure a limited edition founders package are now told it's not going to be so limited after all. There's a bit of greed kicking in here I think. Limited time should mean limited time, not extended time.

Neither does it send out a good vibe to those who are still waiting since the dawn of time to get in.

You also state the actual premium package will kick off from open beta. Again I disagree.
The very fact it's still in beta means we are going to be paying to play an unfinished product. e.g. 95% is not 100% I'm really sorry if I sound a bit angry but it's not the best message to send out when we're all sitting on edge waiting to see what the 7th august was going to bring. We expected lockdown on the Founders packs at the very least. Now it's nothing special, just another day at the office.

Thanks fellas you just knocked the magic out of it for me. Way to treat your loyal fans.

A response on this from one of the community reps would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the update.

Cannot wait till I can visit mechlab..again..and again...so much fun!

Cannot wait.

[WolfOfGrey]

Silly people when you play in open beta, everything you have at that time transits to release.Hence why there was no mention of a wipe for release.

They were expecting common sense to kick in XD
