A new post has arrived on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site to announce that a digital expansion will be arriving in the spring of 2013. The expansion will feature a level cap increase to 55, a new planet, Makeb, hangs in the balance, a new enemy will rise and much more.

The first Digital Expansion for The Old Republic™ introduces an aggressive new enemy threatening the future of the galaxy: the Hutt Cartel

• Experience 5 new levels, including story-driven missions, as the level cap increases to 55!
• Face-off against a frightening new enemy when you battle the nefarious Hutt Cartel.
• The fate of the new planet Makeb is at stake... and in your hands.
• Stay tuned for more information coming soon - Over the next few months we will reveal more exciting new features!

Read more on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site.

Around 10 bucks isn't that bad for an expansion but i hope Makeb and it's story won't be too short.

Really curious about this: "Stay tuned for more information coming soon - Over the next few months we will reveal more exciting new features!". Hope they add minigames or i can only dream,  Improved Space game!

The devs need to fix the current game instead of trying to add more crap on top of the already bad code. otherwise they are repeating the same errors SOE made with SWG. 

So basically, I still wouldn't play this game even if my life depended on it.

i hope it includes JTL type space upgrade

I doubt it tbh but i would go back for a gander at that if it did. Otherwise i probably won't bother as 5 more levels of the story doesn't interest me.

 What is "broken" in the current game? Since you don't play I would love to know. Don't spout off some random BS you copy from other people. 99% of the stuff I see people complaining about being broken or having problems with are BS. I and my wife play the game on three different rigs. AMD processor and GPU in one desktop, an Intel/Nvidia gpu in the 2nd desktop, and the Intel/Nividia laptop. I'll add a forth for my best friend that bootcamps it on his Mac. Never seen 99% of the problems people have.

The poll on this board had an overwhelming number of people saying the game would never have an expansion. Wouldd you like those words with Ketchup, or Mustard guys?

Yeah I remember that. I wish the haters would jump ship and start hating on something else. I get so tired of it. But they'll come up with some excuse as to why they were wrong.

I think is referring to Ilum.

This engine cant take more than 20 people fighting together it seems.

I critizied swtor on my first month. Since then the game has improved (need to keep doing it)

The game is moving in the right direction I hope they fix all problems and people can really enjoy this game.

Too much hate in this forums. As a former WAR player I have plenty of reasons to hate ea but the way is treating swtor is light years from warhammer.

Dont feed the trolls...they eat logic and shit nonsense. 

You know what?  I love SW:TOR, and I can't wait for this expansion.  

There.
