Well, too many walls of text to read everything....

Dude, we're ONLY on page THREE!!! I'd be more inclined to agree if we were at least on page 5..... :P :D

This is because we have yet another free to play game but no information on how much things will cost in real money; nor do we know how much scrap we will accrue from matches. Thus the speculation generators are on overdrive.

The devs could give us something else to do hint hint wink wink

Oh I totally understand, I am very very excited for this beta. I am not upset at all just expressing my sheer mirth and joy that it will soon be at a point where we can have beta keys.

We have the answer now (see post about PAR report's coverage).. $5 for a platinum STAC..all other STACs.. less.

Sorry Teranika but that is not totally true.

"The lower level packs will sell for around a dollar in real currency, with the highest-level STACs selling for “under $5” in real-world currency."

So I still hope that the picture in the article is true and real.

It says Mechwarrior Tactics STAC packs and below it the picture of 2 quarters and the number 50.

If that might really be what I hope it is then it would mean around 2-3$ for a Platinum STAC.

I realize that, just wanted to make sure you knew the question had been answered, in case you hadn't seen the PAR report article yet.
