All "this is beta" nonsense is just silly, when you go open beta that is basically release which means that a game like this won't last long, I think christmas is a bit too soon to die but by easter I suspect it'll only be a couple of hardcore players left. I hope I'm wrong though but my hope is pretty quashed by now.

I don't hope it is a sign of desperasion that they are running out of money.
Summed up I think the start fo Open Beta next week will be the beginning of the end for MWO.

You don't lose anything, as your paid subscription only gives you enhanced rewards in terms of cbill and xp. It doesn't gate any content away. Considering that there won't be a wipe, all your paid subscription entails (IE: the additional money and experience it makes you earn) will be carried over permanently and you won't lose it when and if you decide to play for free.
As a matter of fact, it gives you an advantage over those that will start playing after you, so the earlier it starts going into effect, the better for you.
Its only better if you are going to play more during this 'open beta' stage. I expect alot of people would rather play more once there is more content. These people would not benefit with their premium time starting at 'open beta'.

And, even if abriael is playing a perfectly fine game without major flaws, there's still the problem that at the moment it's just hard and pure luck to earn money and xp due to disconnects, server timeouts, ctd and so on. I played 5 games now this evening, only 2 of them i was able to end "correctly", 1 was a server timeout (or some kind of) where suddenly everybody was laggy as hell, fps dropped from 50 to below 10, basecapture wasn't recognized by the server and nothing happend after the clock stopped to ticking down after 15 minutes, 1 was a disconnect and 1 was a crash to desktop (the first one since i am in beta around end of July). So i am not even able to earn money and xp in half the matches i play and for THAT my premium time counts? Honestly, that's a nogo...

Actually, it is "my car is better than yours" syndrome (better, not bigger).
Personally, I've lowered myself to the level of something below grade school just by self warranting a response to this dribble you've deemed a modicum of necessity to post.
You kickstarted nothing more than many other "non-founder" members and myself have started. We all as players, by showing interest in Mechwarrior, have helped push this game forward in many ways, whether by speaking about it or simply playing.
I paid more for (x) than you did, therefore you better be thanking me. The joke's on you, clown.

Don't take this wrong, but your post is an amazing mood lightener in comparison to my troll gargling.
AND I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE BLUE FIST IN YOUR PORTRAIT... THAT'S THE GOOD GUYS, RIGHT?
Right?

Another reason why I believe I haven't donated yet... I see a lot of people complaining about the loss of time, especially when it technically doesn't matter at this point - correct?
