So, you saw the trailer, you read the few tidbits that were said about it. Now the big question, how much will you be willing to pay for it and why?

Lets keep this thread constructive!

I would only pay $9.99, but nowhere near the normal $40 for a typical expansion pack. Why? Because its not Cataclysm, its not BC, it seems more along the type of content we get/expect from any new update patch. They havent even released Nightmare Mode EC, there is still no ETA on it, and yet, they are already getting ready to push out a whole new tier and operation.

BTW, this concept is not entirely new... and Everquest 2 started it with their "Adventure Packs," that cost $4.99-7.99 USD. The surveys that made the rounds around the internet in the last few weeks (which for the most part, proved to be real), listed the level cap raise as being of 2 levels.




For those that havent seen the trailer:

These are the new features:

Here is the survey sent to people, that I referenced:

It's a free content update, expansions for MMOs are bigger and more advertised.

With no indication of additional main story quests, I expect it will be included in current subscriptions.

Edit: Late to the party. What they said ^.

It sounds like it's free, but I would be willing to pay exactly $0 if necessary.

I hope so, but have you seen the survey that Magid sent to people over email, something that would hint at it being paid:
