As for a price:

I remember paying almost the same money for EQ2 adventure packs:  The Bloodline Chronicles, The Fallen Dynasty etc... and everybody who played EQ2 know how much content it was.  Makeb is huge comparing to that.

 

I already pre-orderred. Considering 12/21/12 is coming it was a very risky move though

I would be excited if this expansion contained new material, but we knew this stuff was coming, but not as an expansion. If this was not announced this stuff was imminent anyway and should be in game already, and now have to wait 6 more months and pay for it. So I am not excited about it, just leaves me more frustrated with the game and EA.

First of all it was intened to be free, and because of that it makes the price not reasonable.

How do you know that "original Makeb' was supposed to be exactly the same as "expansion Makeb". In my opinion they decided to beef it up and release as expansion, therefore the delay until Spring. I think these two are two completely different beasts. Until we know more, we should not really make any assumptions.

Wow they really got you hooked lol.

As for the expansion, its a joke. With how bad they are nickle and dimin F2P and then this "expansion" that should be free content anyways..... I am definitely not coming back. DCUO, TSW, and GW2 are what im sticking with and they offer better value.

Haha. This made me laugh.

So, for subscribers, after paying $180 for a year for very little content, they now add ONE planet and allow you to gain 5 levels and call it an expansion so they can charge everyone. I'll give them credit that it is low priced - but it should be a warning when it is $10/$20 that there is little to this and it is simply an excuse to milk the current player base.

SWTOR is showing it is on it's last legs. This is just a money grab before they run out of Patch 1.4 content to distribute.

Wow! this is a expansion in swtor terms eh?

This is like a tuesday patch for wow.

Yeah, a year late and 10 dollars short!

As a subscriber why would I care about F2P. They are lucky that they can experience for free this great stories in Star Wars Universe. I am totally against giving freebies to anybody. It destroys people and makes us a society of beggars and freeloaders. We have now people who get stuff for free and dare to complain about it. Maybe because I am older then 99.9% of posters here I see things differently.

Sure stick with the other games... and by all means have fun and be happy there. As for me - I do not run to other forums to bash games I no longer play. I appreciate hard work many developers spent trying their best to create great games. It's hard work, and very unrewarding... considering gamers forums.

Anyway, Yes I am hooked and addicted to SWTOR... I love it, enjoy it, having fun, having blast. I wish everybody the same kind of experience in their MMOs.

Cheers

yeah I've recently got a single month gametime to take "advantage" of Biowares gracious cartel coin offer from my previous three months, just to find out those are worth nothing to spend them on, except a possible content update! WELL SURPRISE! They want CASH for content instead of their own shiny made up currency they handed out as a "reward"! 

each time I think Bioware can't possibly get any lower, they always prove they can!! :-//

Don't worry. Soon after release they will allow to buy it on Cartel Market. I bet on it.

It is my understanding though that most of games (LOTRO and SOE) who offered this option in the past, got rid of it as well. Maybe it's a new industry standard.

You must also hate SOE then? beause they removed option to buy  expansiosn through bonus SC cash. Their reason.was that they  were incurring loss because of it. And i can understand.

It is business after all. Why do you think FC decided to make FC coins expire after 6 months? but you are still playing TSW aren't you?

It is one thing to like the game, but to get excited over content knowingly coming which had been mentioned 6 months ago already, and to assume it is going to be anything more an enhanced "expansion makeb" is something else. Until more information is known, it is the same Makeb they have been talking about all year.

They should have done this before doing F2P. Makeb would have gotten people to come back more than F2P would

The $15 monthly fee is plenty enough to cover their hard work. If the content had been in by the end of 2012 as they stated then it would be more worthy. Considering there is a long wait for it they should have given it free, it would have brought more players to the game.

If you like the game so much, you can send them more money if you wish or just buy stuff from the market and give to other players, but do not expect masses of players to do so, and keep game running for a long time. These boneheaded moves by EA is going to kill the game you love faster.

LOTRO still do it, although I think you may have gotten bonuses if preordered with cash.

SOE stopped doing it because they offered double and triple SC from time to time and so people were getting it for 50% or 66% off the full price. They wanted to keep doing the double and triple SC promotions, as they were a success, but did not want the expansions being sold for less than what they were worth, but the SC promotioons was probably a success due to the expansions and monthly subs. They may have allowed you to keep buying expansions with SC if they stopped doing the double or triple SC promotions.

And I do show my support in every possible way, don't worry about it :) BioWare must love me LOL.

On other note, lets not be so appocaliptic. F2P brought lots of players and many of them subscribed. Yesterday (Monday) on The Ebon Hawk were 4 instances in Balmorra... general chat full of funny comments, no hating or bashing the game. Plenty of folks helping each other and very friendly. Pleasure to be here.

Of course The Ebon Hawk has great community, I can imagine players love it.

And I know for sure that plenty of people already preorderred Makeb. Most of subscribers are actually very happy about incoming expansion. Complains will always be here, we all know about it, but lets be realistic, it's a business. It's not a charity.

Let's judge if this content is worth $9.99 when we have more details, ok?

I wonder if Cathar will make it out in time for the expansion...

Get the scoop on their 'Super Secret Space Expansion' MikeB

I was under the impression the original Makeb was going to be two levels and thats it.  Which is about right for a current size Corellia.  Makes me think they are adding more to it.

As for an expansion, maybe not.  But most Xpacs are 30 bucks++.  So we are getting 1/3rd of that?  Seems about even, in relation.  Just would be nice to know a LOT MORE information about what all we are getting...past the 5 levels, skills/abilities, and planet.
