So what happens to our pilot xp come open beta? Is it going to be reset? Kinda hard to want to invest much time knowing that it's for naught.

Most likely reset yes.. so everyone starts on an even playing field..

This is afterall a "closed beta".. for testing the game to get rid of all the bugs and not actually meant for playing the game..

[MajorZero]

As they stated, the game data will be wiped during the transition from CLOSED BETA to OPEN BETA (date to be announced).
During this transition You will lose everything You have achieved during the CLOSED BETA.

At the start of the OPEN BETA, You will be given the rewards coming from your founder status and your premium status will begin to expire. There will be no wipe when game goes from OPEN BETA status to LIVE status.

First you have to pay for Founders (or wait for Open Beta). Second, you have to wait for your confirmation email... then it will all make sense.. hopefully.

I would like to clarify : Will there be such a thing as - Finding during the match, after killing the players are any upgrades or achievements?.
Do not judge strictly

This is excellent news! Now people won't have the need to discuss the current situation and create misunderstandings or just simply confuse everyone by stating things that may or may not be true.

Thanks for clearing everything up!

' In game currency will be reset and re-injected at every reset until Open Beta. This means you can experiment and spend it all with no worries as it will be given back to you on the final reset of Open Beta.'

Im sure they will make a big announcement for the FINAL RESET of Open Beta, which I think would be just before going 'live', public release.

[Valkyrie Onyx]

Sounds great ! thats cool how we can spend as much as we want untill the open beta, it will give us some time to experiment.

Correction on August 7th, you will be given your founders rewards. You will continue to be able to get a re-injection of MC through closed beta. The game on August 7th patch will still be in closed beta status, according to how I understand the Dev post. It will continue to be added to your account after each patch, and again for a final time when the game goes from CLOSED to OPEN. So expect multiple infusions, as there are certain to be a few patches in the near future. Everyone enjoy your Founders mechs! Good Luck, have a fun and see you out there!

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.

Please do not group "we, who made every effort (and spent a pretty penny in the process,)" into one ball. Your post is extremely self centered and egoistical.

Many of us spent the money to support a project we are highly interrested in. Yes we all expect to receive compensations for our support once the game is open, and these benefits are clearly listed in the purchase options of the founders package, so we knew exactly what we should be getting in ingame currency and Founder Mechs before we decided on which package we wanted.

The fact that PGI decided to extend the founders programm for a little longer is not becasue they wish to screw you personally over with your thoughts of "Extremely limited" availablilty, but because many users are having problems with purchasing the Packages with the available payment options, or have stated their intent to upgrade soon.

[Fides]

Thanks for the updated information, there was a lot of discussion and conjecture, but this pretty much clarifies the situation.

Sounds like there will be even more fresh blood into the game before beta, as a lot of people currently sitting on the fence hoping for free to play to finally arrive will either have to wait longer or buy the founder's pack, which all in all seems good to me, as they will be able to contribute to making the game better.

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.

this kinda takes a bit of coolness out of being a founder. meaning, with people being able to get in further down the road (read when the game is more finished), it means people can decide to be founder way later...
while i can understand that this is cool for you making more moneys, it means that there will be alot more founders around and it will be a lot less cool to be in a founders mech / to have a founders badge. its kinda losing the point when "everyone" has it.

[UnLimiTeD]

Now I kinda feel dumb for upgrading to Elite at what I thought was the last possible moment.
I'm still not entire sure about the mech choice.
I am, however, pretty sure I won't use it much in the future, but we'll see how it plays out.

[Outfoxed]

Firstly, thank you powers that be for the update.

They said Founders packs will be available for a -Limited- time only... note: 1 day - 1 year is still a "limited" time. Also the more money they get now, the easyer it is for them to advertise and add other features, meaning bigger player base and better game. You will still be one of the "kool kids" because you will have you special mechs that many of the other thousands of players don't; and you get a better game for your patience.

I am however QQing that this is just closed release as I was hoping for open for me to sink my time and effort into MWO before another well known MMO hits the shops this month. With this going live "before the end of summer" is is looking more and more likely that alot of my prem-time will be eaten up by me priorotising that other game.
