Yes you can take it with you if you want to transfer to the Euro servers. I brought the legendary pack with all four mechs (for which you still get your standard four empty mechlab slots).
I will most likely stay on the NA servers, having played on the world of Tanks Euro servers it will be a refreshing change to actually have people speaking english when the battle starts. Plus also I regually play WW2Online and my ping to the servers in Texas is 120ms-149ms which is fine, so I dont think it will hamper my gaming that much.

Q : How are the 'Mechs different from the 'Mechs already ingame other than the fact that they earn more XP and Cbills? (I'm thinking hardpoint wise)
A :
Yes the hard point are the same. Less unique but this also means that they will take the place of the prime variant in the Mech trees so you will already be on your way with that path.
Also for clarity it is a C-Bill booster not XP
Premium account gives a boost to both but the Mech gives a boost to C-Bills.
Trust me over a lifetime of the product this is a really powerfull thing.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q: When will you stop declining my credit card information and let me buy it?
A: sorry we are getting pounded I couldnt say for sure, give it a couple hours and if you still have problems let us know.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Are the Founders 'Mechs customizable?
A:
Yes that is the other good news that they are the Prime Variants they not only take up that position in the Mech Trees for you to work on but they remain fully customizable in the Mechlab.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Lengendary Package was disappointing from a value stand point....
A:
People saying this just arent realizing the value of the mechs. If you buy legendary you will have 4 prime variant mechs which means you already have the start on all 4 mech trees they are a part of.
The lifetime C-Bill booster on all 4 mechs means when your grinding C-Bills you will never not have a mech out of combat you can jump in with.
In short the values are like this
10$ a month on premium accounts and around 15$ value at least on the Founders Mech's which is 170$ value for the 120$
If the mech's dont mean this much to you then perhaps Elite is a better option for you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
What exactly is a "premium account" and what does it get you?
A:
This should be very clear from all the information this morning...a premium account means you will receive 50% more C-Bills and 50% more XP per match.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Okay a couple questions I see a lot of:
A:
The C-Biill booster amount was stated somewhere I think the print below the different packages. It is 25% on all the Mech's
As to the Value of the MC...most people asking what that would buy in game.
The best I can do for you now would be to equate that to Buying Mechs
It is quite a bit, off the top of my head and SUBJECT TO CHANGE DISCLAIMER
You could likely buy somewhere between 8-10 Medium class Battlemechs at current tentative plans. More lights of course and less of the heaviest mech's in the game.
This can and probably will change before launch to some degree but I think it does show everyone, that in game currency will go a long ways to building your Mech Bay up with your favorite Chassis.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
So if we have FOUR garage slots and we buy Legendary Founders package that FILLS UP FOUR garage slots.... how does that impact the quantity of mechs we can have in our garage? Thank you.
A:
Anyone who buys a Founders Package whether Elite or legendary will still have 4 empty mech bay slots on top of the Mech's they get with Founders.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
First off, both myself and my wife will get at the very least Elite, I do appreciate the legendary I have one question the elite and the veteran gives the player an additional $20 for their purchase, will this be adjusted for the legendary?
A:
No the legendary gets 3 extra mechs and 1 more month of Premium and your name in the credits. The mechs are a big value and the package is for those that really want the extra founders mechs more than anything.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A few questions really piling up.
Q, When will we shut down the founders program and the ability to buy them?
A. There are some variables at play that are too difficult to explain, suffice it to say we dont know for sure but I can say that Aug 7th is very likely the longest it will run. But it is limited so don't wait too long if you can afford to. For those waiting on paychecks etc I would say we have in all liklelyhood at least 4 weeks at the minimum,
Q. how long can we upgrade them
A. I can say we would allow up until Aug 7th to upgrade
Q. Can we change our mech choice before the Aug 7th cut off
A. This currently isn't offered but we will look into it...no promises yet but we will try.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
"The closed beta and OPERATION INCEPTION assets will enjoy support only in North America." I am aware that the servers for the closed beta are NA only but those in the EU can still play on them, but what about the Operation: Inception assets? Do I not get a skin if I am from the EU? Can I not redeem my in-game currency? etc. etc. A little more detail would be much appreciated.
A:
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.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
What are the "prime" hardpoints/ or the founders mechs hardpoints? We've seen the catapults hardpoints and hunchback's hardpoints by what about the jenner or atlas?
A:
I wont specify the exact number of number of hard points per area of the mech as that can and will change with balancing.
However as to the Jenner you have beam hard points on the arms of course and missile hard points on the center torso
Atlas 7D has - sorry going to get lazy here since I am getting so behind...check sarna it is the same as the AS7D variant...there will be ballistic, missile and beam hard points on that Atlas
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Will this go on until at least July Fifteenth?
A:
I will risk saying yes to this
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Founders mechs have a 25% cbill booster on them, As time goes on is there a chance that the company says that it's to powerfull and changes it to a less amount?
A:
No this won't happen
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Is there a possibility to upgrade your Founders purchase during the Founders period? Say from Veteran to Elite/Legendary or Elite to Legendary?
A:
Yes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Sorry if this is obvious but, does this mean we eu players have to spend all the MC BEFORE transferring to an eu server?
A:
No take the MC with you if you like
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
I bought the Legendary, got charged and nothing happened. Will I have to pursue this problem or will it be fixed for me?
A:
Wait a few minutes most people say what you just said and then never mind right after because it showed up.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
I really just have one question - If I buy one of the lower tiers now will I be able to upgrade to a higher tier later?
I know I want at least elite, but would hate to spend another $120 to get legendary if I changed my mind later.
A:
Once again- YES lol
Until Aug 7th
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Russ, do you not have any more info on the "MWO Legends" 'name in credits' thing for Legendary packages, or did you miss my questions?
A:
On credits
You get your name in the game credits andther will be an option in the from end somewhere to display them
We expect to put your real name in the credits but also hope to include our pilot name in there as well
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
A:
Yes the c-bill booster of the founders mech will stack with a premium account
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
A:
Okay guys I only got about 12 pages behind nor do I know when I would have time to update the initial post with all the answers thus far.
So I ask this
From here on out make sure you read the whole threa through and then only post if you have not received your answer yet and we will try to stat fresh from this post onward.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Can you guys make it so that premium starts AT FIRST LOGIN? What if people are out of the country without access to MWO until, say mid-September? We just lose a whole month of premium?
Q:
Also, if we buy Elite, do we get the Founder mech and 4 more mech bays for a total of 5, like Legendary gets 4 filled slots and 4 free bays for a total of 8? Or does the one founder mech take up one of the 4 slots?
Q:
And when can we fix name capitalization?!
A:
Currently let's say that the premium accounts start ticking At Open beta but we will be discussing internally changing this to a method that might give more flexibility as to when it is turned on...no promises yet.
A:
The mech bays are as you say above.
A:
I don't know on name capitalization
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
I also only made one transaction for elite but have gotten an email claiming I upgraded to legendary.
A:
I made another post about this in General
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
RUSS: Will the C-Bill booster take up space on the mech in some way?
I have played a few F2P games and usually the added credits have a cost in performance. Is there anything like this in play where a C-Bill purchased mech will not be "gimped" ; for lack of a better word.
A:
No I will not take up space or be gimped in any way...it is the prime variant
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Russ i bought the legendary founds pack for 120$ and found an extra charg for 14.95$ that nobody told me about whats this ???
A:
Certainly nothing we meant to charge you
See my other post in general about any charging issues
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
I see that a few folks are asking about the "Mech Tree" I didn't see you respond to that. I am assuming it is some type of progression to better mechs or more choices on mechs maybe.
Will you guys be celebrating tonight now that you're finally getting paid?Have a beer on me. I got the Legend
A:
Some folks have been asking about mech trees - see the dev blogs about role warfare
In general read through all the de blogs great stuff in there you may have missed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Outstanding ! I'm all set.
One question in regards to the confirmed email with all data based on purchase, Will this be completed internally on the system
or will you need to input data at the time of the launch to activate purchase.
Thanks.
A:
Should be all automatic
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Ok I'm putting more info into my question.
I bought veteran twice and it upgraded into elite founder. On the Email that was sent to me said, "Selected Mech: NONE" does this mean I don't get a c-bill boosted mech? Where do I go to cancel this if this is bugged?
A:
Okay very good question
I did put another post up in general about double charges or other charge errors
However I just talked with Kyle....what you need to do is select Elite as an upgrade rather than buying two veterans.
What I suggest doing is do the elite upgrade right now and it should charge you 30$ to upgrade to elite then get your refund for the 30$ you spent on the second veteran
End result should be 60$ as it should be
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Could I buy a package for someone OTHER than myself? If so, how do I go about that?
A:
We hope to add a gifting system soon but it is not operational yet and I do not have an ETA yet
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q:
Would MWO allow a one time founder mech exchange one month after it goes live. Its really hard to pick without playing the game.
A:
No promises yet but were looking into this
