I just now heard of MechWarrior Online, and want to buy the legendary pack. I played Mechwarrior game non stop in the 90s. But i cant seem to find it- even with google. Am i ********? Usually companies have this pasted everywhere so you cant miss it

Sale of founders packs stopped last week.

[Kaarde]

The Devs have hinted that there will be other sales popping up here and there. So keep your eyes open.

[SmithMPBT]

Yup theres bound to be a new pack of premium mechs for sale later on.

You're hosed, sorry. Founders was the developer's version of a kickstarter campaign, so since the game is up and going now it's been closed but they will likely offer other promotions in the future.

noooooo. Is there anyother way for guaranteed beta access?

[Bogus]

Perhaps you could ask them nicely...open beta was actually supposed to already be happening, but it got pushed back because the game in its current state is nowhere near ready for mass consumption.

Is there currently any purpose to purchasing MC?

[Master Hyde]

Im looking around, and i dont even see an option to buy any pack whatsoever. However, i did just get accepted into the beta and am downloading right now . But i would like to purchase a pack so i can skill faster, ect.

Once in the game, you can click the buy MC button on the bottom of the client. Use the MC to buy premium account time, it will get reset and start counting down officially when the game goes open beta, but will help you compete better now as well. All you will be missing is a founder's mech, which without, you will have to grind trial mechs until you can afford a chassis of your own.

Alternatively you could also buy a chassis with MC, but it's much more of a cash involvment, the premium time on it's own should be sufficient unless you are very impatient.

@ Master Hyde
Currently there are no packets on sale as far as I know.

You could buy MC and use them to convert xp / buy mechs / buy additional mechbays for now. The bought MC will be tracked an reset to their full value if open beta starts.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Sadly the Founders packages have finished, though the gent's at PGI have stated to keep your eyes out for new deals. (not sure what these deals are yet so its anyones guess.)

You can spend them in Beta for mechs, mech bays and such.

[Kdogg788]

You get it all back when open beta hits.

That sale ended. But I don't know how you missed it because this game has been smeared in advertisements and events all year, especially while the Founders was running.

I'm a EVE Online Fleet Commander. I dont have much time for other games usually . I didnt see any advertisements for this game, i must not have been in the right places and the right times. But i <3 this game, playing it in the 90s. I stayed up 28 straight hours past yesterday and am now in a Hunchback.

sorry for this...but....

what is MC? (mech cash, merc cash)

[Paul BlackJack Cady]

I just learned Mechwarrior online about this last night, but from what I'm reading it appears that I've lost out on everything.
so I can't donate any money to this endevior and become a founder?

[Paul BlackJack Cady]

I keep typing in the search box for prior post to all my questions before I actually ask in this forum, but it doesn't seem to be working so well.
is there a certain format I should be using?
