Will I be able to buy both an ELITE and VETERAN package?

[CloakRogue]

Exclusive custom "Founder's BattleMech." This 'Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster. (X2, X3 etc.)
$80 value of in-game currency* for in-game item purchases. (X2, X3 etc.)
Two-month premium account to MechWarrior Online at launch: Earn XP & C-Bills faster (X2, X3 etc.)

Depends on how they handle attaching it to accounts;

1) Bought and directly attached to your account immediately.
2) Bought and then a PIN code or somesuch is used to attach it to your account.

First one would make them all redundant but I'm sure PGI would still take your money.
Second one would allow the buyer to gift the code to a friend.

Also, since they are digital they're never going to run out of them.

Or best-case scenario be able to stack them so that one might for example buy 3 Elite packs, get $240 of ingame money, 6 months of premium and 3 founder's mechs of their choosing, for $180.

It is your money, they will gladly take I suspect.

I doubt stacking accounts will be possible, though. That is just, umm, well, crazy. It is just a game, after all and mulitple accounts will not make you a better pilot/player, target maybe, but not a better pilot/player.

Get one and be happy

Has nothing to do with benefit in the game or anything like that. It's about getting access to multiple unique Mechs accessible no other way, and getting awesome deals on premiums and store credit all without having to grind c-bills/XP.

If you know you're going to be playing for awhile it makes more sense to get as many founder's packages as you need. Seems like it'll be more expensive later one. I hope they allow it, I don't see why they wouldn't.

[Raalic]

F2P games rarely restrict how much money you can spend. That would be a pretty stupid business decision.

[New Breed]

I was curious about this too.. for mulitple founders mechs (if we get to pick one from the ones on the inception page)

[Juiced]

I would like to buy more than one to get all the founder mechs if possible.

The founder packages are NOTHING but a solid deal.

ALSO i would buy a lifetime sub for premium if it was possible.

I agree, I would definitely buy a lifetime subscription for premium...if..there...was....one.....GET THE PITCHFORKS!!

[Kaemon]

Next question...

Can we gift Founder's packages to other players?

Cause then the multiple packages would make sense as well (also if someone wanted to collect em all).

Question I want answered, will different stores (i.e. Amazon, Walmart, Game Stop, Best Buy etc) have different weight/class Mech's?

"Online" - everything is 1 & 0's. No physical box, manual, etc. So, no.

I just wanna meet the guy who fields a full company via some ungodly rig all under his sole control. That'll be awesome and/or horrible.

Good luck with that.

This is actually a good question, I have two PCs capable of playing this fine.

I usually buy two copies of games I plan to play alot so that each PC has a key/reg/account, etc. I have friends that come over on weekends at times, who would never buy a founders pack as they have children, mortgages, etc that preclude spending more than say 40 bucks on a game every quarter. I just buy it then, and let them play my extra copies.

I realize alot of folks just can't wait to prematurely fill a stable of payable mechs on day one, but I actually have a good reason for wanting to be able to do this, besides being greedy that is.

My guess is though, we'll have to setup two accounts for that scenario, as I've done with a secondary Steam account for some games.

I don't really think you have a problem then, you and your friends cant both play on the same account so you will have to create a seperate one anyways, right? so why not just buy it on the second account?
