to answer your 2nd question:
"beta slot on July 17th?" that is a clear NOPE, but only because the date has been pushed back to Aug 7th.

to answer your 1st question:
the founder packages are for the NA Servers, because there currently are only NA Servers.
Once new Servers outside NA (i.e. EU) become available, you will be given the option to move with your entire founder package perks to that new server; it was said that this decision can only be made once and and will work like a one way road, so that when you move from NA Servers to others, you will not be able to move back to NA Servers.

Thanks Omdra but how do you know this? has it been any official communication by the devs clarifiying this?.

24 pages not answering the most asked question, what about European players buying a Founders pack now? we need some offcial answer. I cant believe this is not clearly explained yet, do they even know?

K, let me quote the official posts on this ...

1) about early access starting Aug 7th, that was posted here: http://mwomercs.com/...ge-on-sale-now/

...
MONTREAL – June 19, 2012 – The exclusive MechWarrior Online™ Founder’s Program goes on sale today, and the new LEGENDARY tier option has been added for the hard-core MechWarrior fan. Dubbed “OPERATION INCEPTION,” the Founder’s Program participants gain early access to the game, starting on August 7th in addition to other valuable benefits...

2) about being able to transfer to European Servers...quoted from "Russ Bullock taking questions on Founders now." (http://mwomercs.com/...n-founders-now/) (Post #172)

Russ Bullock, on 19 June 2012 - 10:41 AM, said:

Euro players - for hopefully all the clarity needed

You can spend your MC and in short get all of your founders rewards etc. If you stay on the NA server...great. If you leave you take all your stuff with you...no downside at all here.

hope this answeres your questions Gargunza

Thanks again Omdra, I was in fact reading that thread but it got to more than 30 pages and I really hate to have to dig for info that should be easily available.

They just need to put it in the first post of this thread, after all this is called "Operation Clarification".

YES! Keep it up! I love these questions!

One of my favorites is: What is Mechwarrior?

Someone has to ask that question a few times now, in this thread, to make me feel complete.

[abetterpilot]

i still see conflicting info depending on what thread you read. 2 things that come to mind.
1. the bonus the founders pacs give i have seen clearly stated to be permanent for both XP and cbills and other threads say only bonus is to XP not cbills
2. i have seen threads state that buying a founders pac gives the bonus forever if you pay the monthly fee later or not, obviously conflicting with other threads that say your founders bonus will only be activated in the future if you are paying the monthly price.
I dont care either way at this time, just saying.....
I know it must be a bear to keep track of everything thats being posted by the admins, throw in an inadvertant typo and ....

[RCDragon]

well if I dont get beta permission, at least on the 17th of July I will get to start playing the game...
cant wait....

The Life-time bonus is about earning 25% more C-Bills when using a founder mech.

The Premium account ist giving you 50% more C-Bills and 50% more XP, but obviously only as long as your premium account is active.

So with most founder packages you get both (except veteran package), a mech earning more C-Bills forever and 1-3 months of premium account.

[Prussian Havoc]

Incredible opportunity... it was not obvious to me that MWO was in the works and I am an original BattleTech player from pre-loss of the Archer / BattleMaster days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Morthan]

I guess you don't really need to sign up for the beta if you're already of founder access?

[jhiss2]

so do people outside of n.a have to pay because im in canada

Canadians shouldn't have to pay. The do a service for all of North America by their very existence. Look at Mexico and the USA, then visit Canada. Go back to the USA or Mexico and cry. Beauty can exist everywhere, but Canada is where it is cherished!

God save Canada! God save the Queen! God have mercy on the rest of us!

AP514

I'm given to understand the pack begins on the 7th of August strictly.

At least, whenever any dev has said anything, they've always used the words "on Aug 7th", they have never used the words "from when you begin/start", meaning to me that it's *not* keyed into when you first log-in.

So if for some random reason you didn't log in for 3 months, you would miss the premium-ness that comes with it.

[Harry Rears]

Ok,
Just found all this info. when I googled Mech Warrior, I had no idea this was all going on. I have just a few questions, I tried searching but really could not find any specific answers.
I signed up for a pilot name and applied for Beta a few days ago, I still says beta pending, how long would this take. I'm supper exiceted to play.
And will there only be a pay option when the game is release?

Thanks,
Harry

[Silverwave]

This is soooo sweet! I didn't knew Mechwarrior missed me so much until I've seen this new game... Now I can't stop thinking about it!

Hi everyone!

You've probably seen our big news today - Beta signups are official! But how, you ask?
First, log onto the forums; then click profile and it's right there! For greater clarity closed beta starts today! we will be inviting users as soon as tomorrow.
Secondly, how the Founders program beta/early access works: The program is purchasable on June 19th and you gain guaranteed access to the closed beta on July 17th.
Thirdly, the reason this announcement stated 'North America' is that it's for North American servers – As we have mentioned we are working very hard to launch MechWarrior Online in every region worldwide. We may also run a similar Operation for other regions, therefore we are required to recommend that for the best play experience you register and play in your region in the near future. However There is no IP blocking. You can signup from everywhere just keep in mind that if you are outside of North America we cannot guarantee your play experience.
Thanks for being the most awesome fanbase ever, and we hope this clears up your questions.
Sincerely,
The MechWarrior Online team.
