(I made this post originally in BETA forums but since they will be closed down this evening CET i moved it here instead)

As the title says i think it would be a good thing to change the official date for MWO back a year (3049 to 3048) to give the devs a bit more time to have everything in order before the Clans show up and throw everything into chaos.

It would be better to change the date now before going open BETA as opposed to having to stall the clans arrival because of a to tight schedule and making everyone disappointed.

Doing this would give players time to actually get some feel for the IS warfare after the community warfare is implemented and give developers more time to work on the introduction of the clans.

No, clans need to get here faster so people can ***** about repair costs on a mech that costs 35million

"We" have no choice, nor say, in this matter.

Maybe half a year.

Since they are doing the same day as in real life (i.e 29 october 2012 = 29 october 3049) its not possible to do half a year.

Not sure about a year, but some rollback would be good.

I really like the Idea. More Time - good balancing!

It would be nice to get used to the existing mechs before the clans are thrown into the mix. A reset back a year in the timeline would make this possible, but I am not sure the Devs will do that. Things are behind where they were scheduled to be when I first joined up, but that happens when people are trying to make the game better, rather than meet a specific launch date. Great job on that Devs.

I would actually like community warfare to have a chance dealing with just Inner Sphere politics for a year or so. I just feel it's a shame we won't have a chance to settle in before the big paradigm shift happens.

Despite what my profile name suggests, I have no problem waiting. I'm running half a Timber Wolf as is, now all I need is some salvaged Maurader arms and some glue and I'll be happy.

Really i think the game should of started in 3025, cause it would of been a much simpler game to make. And then they can go through all the story stuff and add in the clan tech ect ect

Unless PGI gets another team working on clan mechs, they're going to be releasing no more than one a month. That means 6 more months just to get the currentlly listed mechs into the game. Assuming they're not going to dribble clan mechs in one at a time, that means more like a year to the clans.
