How long will the Founder's Program be on sale?

Due to recent overwhelming demand, the Founder's Program will continue to be made available beyond August 7th. Cut-off timing for the Founder's Program offer will be announced at a later date.

We hope this clarifies things a little more and gives you a bit more information on the different milestones we are trying to achieve. Until next time, happy gaming!




Thank you!

Gives me time to get some junk valuable items ready fer a garage sale this weekend!

No, no it won't be. How can you read the post and have that question??

"*The premium account grants you 50% more XP and C-Bills. Even though you will get those benefits while the duration of Closed Beta, the REAL clock will only begin at Open Beta where there will be a final reset of all accounts so everyone starts at the same."

Which part of the words FINAL RESET do you understand?

What about In-game Founder's Tags?

How exactly is this implemented? I envision the icons we see in the forums being either on the scoreboard (or even better next to the players when we target them)

- The cut-off timing for the Founder's Program offer will be announced at a later date.
- Nothing will be wasted, we will make sure when the game goes 'live' everyone has the correct amount of c-bills et all.


Thanks for the response.

After playing some more beta, I'm sure I'll love all the founder mechs so I'm going to upgrade right now anyways.

  • Access to MechWarrior Online is by invitation only.


Does this mean we can invite friends? Or that Piranha will only be allowing who they choose to invite (ie Founders)?

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.



I dont believe they would burn our prem time just like that.

It is usually customers choice when to activate premiums.

Founders tag is a another thing though, but I do understand the logic behind it.
It is to ensure that money keeps rolling and customers happy so we all would have a great game to play even in the future.

But it could have been arranged a little more correctly and in better manner towards original Founders, who really believed in limited time offer and exclusiveness as also expression of support towards devs.
The extended offer could have been renamed and remodified to have a bit different content.

But, I´m happy to hear that things keep rolling forward. Thanks for the Update!

Cheers all!

After reading through the countless Thank you Posts I didn't see this question answered, can we change our founder mech after the 7th, or will be be stuck with what ever one we picked tonight? I can see how it would be an advantage to us to play them before we pick them.

I understand the thanks post, but I am not sure everybody that is reading this needs to make a post saying thanks, I am sure the dev's know we would love to thank them for this, but sifting through 4 pages of already answered questions and thanks is kind of a pain.
