$60 total including founders.

I will NOT spend another dime until we have at least 10 unique maps.

Nothing. I dont even see a reason to buy anything. The lack of any kind of economy makes paying a waste of money. I can run anything no matter how bad im playing.

Just curious.

Personally I've dropped ~£40 (~$63) and I only started a couple weeks ago. Was used to buy mech bays and a Muromets.

It occurred to me that £40 is basically a full priced game, how much have you guys spent so far? Is it starting to feel a bit much?

Founders... 120
Ilya, YLW and Flame, plus paints......another 120? (and um... that's just THIS account.

[Cerlin]

Over 200 Dollars.

[Grey Man]

About 60. Bought the Ilya and the Flame, and a whole mess of mechbays.

Not really willing to spend more until there are more interesting hero mechs. Don't much like the Death's Knell and the 6000MC price point of the PB is terrifying. Need player feedback before I will take that plunge.

But while I am not willing currently, I do have the funds poised and ready any time PGI wants to come up with something spectacular (or MC goes on sale again).

I left out I'm waiting for the next MC sale to restock. (hint hint PGI )

[HighTest]

I'm in for $90 so far (3x$30 package). For mech slots and a few mechs.

I was accepted into Closed Beta about a week before the Founder's Packages were pulled. Sadly, I didn't know they were being pulled -- went to buy one the day after and they were gone.

Yeah - seems like a fair bit of cash. But I must admit I haven't had this much fun since WoW, and probably Mechwarrior 4 before that. Plus I'm not forced to spend 4 hours at a time with 24 more people wiping against an AI raid boss that we hadn't figured the secret out on yet.

If the game achieves its potential, I will happily spend more.

Edit: fix typo

I Bought $15 worth of MC Monday. So far I've only bought 2 mechbays with it and I'm saving the remaining 2400MC for later.

[CheebaMech]

Between the Founders package and a few MC refills, easily 200;

^^^but exactly what this guy said...

[Grimlox]

I've purchased the $50 MC bundle on the 20% more bonus MC sale and I also purchased a $14.95 MC bundle before that. So I'm in for $65 dollars and I've got a flame, some mech bays and a decent stable of regular mechs to say for it. I also converted some GXP to get through some craptastic variants I didn't want to play through. Bought two regular variants and 1 months premium time.

I have about 3,000MC left at this point and 9 days left on my premium. I'm considering if I should bother with another month of premium or not. I would buy the new Awesome Hero mech but I won't go spend more money on MC unless it's on sale again. Also I have a 9M and while I enjoy awesome piloting it would have to be worth my while to replace the 9M (offer a different gameplay from what the 9M can).

How much money in total? Even an estimate works.

I am guessing $30 or $40 maybe. I don't regret it.

Only annoying thing is that paint is not permanent (if you change it again, you get charged again, even if you are changing it back). I do like that the paid mechs give a CBill boost...it is like buying permanent premium time.

[Sir Wulfrick]

No idea, but I'd be guessing probably around £150 - £200. Not so that I have a pile of MC, I only have 4 mechs in my hangar, but mostly because I want to support the game and the dev team. I'm happy with my contribution and will probably purchase more as and when I feel the need.

[TheStrider]

The $60 from my Founders.

Planning on dropping some more when it goes on sale next, so I can buy premium time. Also planning to buy a Hero, but keep getting scared off by the price.

Bought mostly Mech Bays, some Paint and an Awesome-9M. Probably should have grinded for the mech but...

[Bilbo]

~$300

[Erata]

Guess. Hint: Probably over a hundred bucks, but less than two hundred bucks.

[Aldon]

Including founders $20 I have spent $80. I have probably played the game for 400 hours in 5 months. 20 cents/hour is nothing for entertainment. How many people spend $60 on some xbox game and then play it for 20 hours ever?

[BlackSquirrel]

Only founders $60. Of that only 1800 or so on converting xp.

[The Mech behind you]

2x $50 packages

[anonymous175]

Needs more CryDevs.

50 total. 20 to get into closed beta when they announced keys were going to start being released. Ended up being one round away from getting into the lucky 13 club. Spent initial MC on 10 mech bays and XP to gxp conversions for modules.

Last weekend final caved in and bought $30 more of MC. Got a months worth of premium time and a Wang to help stockpile bills for trebucet. Oh, and a wee bit of XP to gxp exchange to help level the ballistics spider.
