Mech Crusaders is free to play, but it's not free to keep online. VIC Players or 'Very Important Commanders' are those that support the game financially, keeping it available for all players and funding it's continued development. In return, they receive advantages in the game, helping them build their commander faster. Interested? Read on…
VIC Days are a cheap, great way to support the game, with a huge list of minor improvements to your gameplay. Pack Credit let's you get clearer advantages in the form of extra Energy, Upgrade Center operations, Minerals and/or New Command Points, or sold at the Market Place to other players for Credits.

No money? No problem... VIC Days and Pack Credit are available for in-game Credits in the Market Place. This supports the game indirectly, as other players purchase them to sell!
The available options or "packs" all use the Pack Credit system, purchasing Pack Credit, then automatically applying it into the benefits you've selected at the standard Pack Credit exchange rates. This means buying Pack Credit and then applying it from Your Sector to an area is identical to directly buying Max. Energy, UC Ops, or one of the other options available.
Max. Energy is a surefire way to speed up the growth of your account, and a solid long-term investment. Every day, your Energy is restored over 24 hours. Having a higher Max. Energy means more energy every day - indefinitely. Included with every Max. Energy purchased is a quarter days worth (6 hourly cycles) of Energy, or a quarter of your Max. Energy. When used to win battles, this earns you approximately a further 0.25 Max. Energy, not to mention the EXP earned. The exchange rate is $4 Pack Credit per Max. Energy. If you've earned a full loyalty bonus, you can get up to 50% more Pack Credit for your money, so can get 1.5 Max Energy for $6 Pack Credit, costing you only $4.
Upgrade Center Operations let you build your Mechs skills up faster, without spending Energy or being affected by daily training limits. These are available at a rate of 250 UC Ops for $1 Pack Credit. If you've earned a full loyalty bonus, you can get up to 50% more Pack Credit for your money, so can get 300 UC Ops for $1.50 Pack Credit, costing you only $1.
Minerals - Zn, Cu, Pt & Ex You can pick an even Credit value of each mineral, or select exactly how much you want of each. Whichever you choose, the rate is the same great value. Based around 42,000,000 Cr worth of minerals per $1 Pack Credit, converted at the current Mid-Market Rate, it's a great way to get Minerals quickly, for upgrading your Armory or building up your Drazil. There's no waiting around for people to sell to you, or having to accept a worse rate to get the minerals quickly. With a loyalty bonus, it can be as good as 63,000,000 Cr-worth for $1.50 Pack Credit, costing you only $1.
Command Points are used to buy Commander Skills when you level up. Additional command points will let you have more skills than a normal player, and afford some skills earlier than you otherwise would. You still need to acheive the required level to unlock commander skills, but this lets you train more, or indeed, all selections rather than only having enough points for some of the skills available at each level! The exchange rate scales with your Level; Commanders up to Level 20 get 2 Points in exchange for $1 Pack Credit, afterwhich it is (Level / 10) points for $1 Pack Credit. For example, at level 28, 2.8 points can be had for $1 Pack Credit. Points are rounded down, so it's good to be aware of that - investing in multiples of $10 Pack Credit avoids losing out to rounding. Similarly, bonus Pack Credit from your loyalty bonus can give you up to 50% extra.
VIC Days are included every time you exchange Pack Credit to any area, 1 VIC Day per Pack Credit invested. You can also invest Pack Credit specfiically into VIC Days to get 7 VIC Days per $1 Pack Credit. And don't forget your loyality bonus can give you up to $1.50 Pack Credit per $1. VIC Days identify you as a supporter of the game, and 'count down' one per day, at 00:00 game time.
Whilst you have at least 1 VIC Day remaining, you benefit from the following:
- Custom Commander Images can be set by VIC Players, shown on Your Profile to other players and on the Your Commander page.
- VIC Players can store up to a whole weeks worth of energy, rather than only 3 days worth for normal players!
- The VIC Targets list allows you to create a list of players who you attack regularly, you can put them into named groups and sort them too. It will track these players and let you know when they are ready to be attacked again.
- The VIC Booster increases your battle booster maximum by 2, allowing you to hit a target with more energy, which means you can get more EXP and rewards out of your best targets, and speed up your battling each day.
- VIC players are allowed a 1,000 character long signature and profile message, up from the usual limit of 250 characters. They also have a special star symbol by their name in the forums to show they support Mech Crusaders.
- The VIC Skill Calculator allows you to see your chance to hit based on Targeting and Enemy evasion, so you can have a better idea of how differences in Skills will affect battle results.
- VIC Positioning allows you to store an unlimited number of positioning setups, as well as being able to rename them, instead of the normal limit of 3. (Requires a Positioning Commander Skill)
Additionally, VIC Days can be exchanged for the following:
- VIC days can be sold and traded on the market. They are highly valued so you can always sell excess VIC days for Credits.
- Images can be uploaded to our website, for use either on our forums, or on other websites in exchange for 1 VIC Day.
- Improve Hero Points gains from battles by up to +175% by trading VIC Days for Beer in The Bar.
The website Mech Crusaders (http://www.mech.vg/) is owned and operated by Ben Vail, trading as VantageGaming.net.
The available options or "packs" all use the Pack Credit system, purchasing Pack Credit, then automatically applying it into benefits at the standard Pack Credit exchange rates.
If we increase the exchange rates, so they will become a worse deal, we will aim to give notice so that players can take advantage of the old rates while they last. If we improve the exchange rates, so they will become a better deal, we may, at our discretion, give the difference to players who have recently exchanged Pack Credit in the areas that have improved. Buying Pack Credit and then applying it from Your Sector to an area is identical to directly buying Max. Energy, UC Ops, or one of the other options available.
Refunds will be only be issued at VantageGaming.net's discretion and if granted, may be subject to deprecation, if a purchase has already been enjoyed and/or helped your account.
If payment is cancelled or does not clear, your pack will be removed. We are understanding that sometimes banks mess up, or money isn't in the place you thought it was at the right time. You won't get in trouble, and you can of course repurchase a pack that is removed due to failed payment!
If PayPal, or another accepted payment provider, reverse the transaction due to a claim of non-receipt when you have received the pack, or due to an unauthorized payment claim, your account will be locked and you will be banned from Mech Crusaders if the situation does not get resolved amicably. We take Credit Card Fraud seriously. Attempting to use a stolen credit card or someone else's card or PayPal account without their express permission will almost certainly end up with a reversal, and hence your account being locked and you banned from the website permanently.
VIC Players are in no way exempt from following the games Rules, Guidelines & Etiquette. If your account is found to be cheating, or violating any of our rules, guidelines or etiquette, you may find some of all VIC features inaccessible if your account gets subject to temporary restrictions such as Chat bans, Forum bans or Account Jailing. Chat or forum bans would only affect any VIC player benefits relating to the chat or forums. A jailed account cannot play the game at all for the duration of their jail sentence. Note that in most situations we warn players and remind them of the rules the first time a problem is encountered, unless there is a serious breach.
With the above exceptions, and excluding the reduction of VIC days on a daily basis, and your usage of currency-type benefits, no player will ever lose the benefits of their purchases. Mech Crusaders is committed to providing a quality gaming service, and will be for years to come. You can be confident in your investment in this website.
Warning: Only send PayPal payments for a VIC purchase to paypal@vantagegaming.net, never to another PayPal account!
