They better come out with a lot more then just this by the end of next year.

1 new companion
1 new species
1 new WZ
1 new OP
1 new space mission.


By the end of the year I would think we would have a few (3-5) new species, 2 new WZ's (with 1 coming out late December), 2 new OPS, 4-6 new space missions. If they are sticking with the "1" formula, then I am officially worried. I mean I get that this wasn't a complete roster. But its worrying how things were phrased.

And if it was the other way? If people said, YES, id pay for something like that, and I would pay X amount? It could be either way.

Ok, dude. You go ahead and believe a "datamining" site. Until or unless they post it on this website, it's presumed free until further notice. Other games have made their updates, including expansions, free of charge to paying customers. City of Heroes (with the only two exceptions being Going Rogue and City of Villains (which are actually free if you wanted to wait a few months after release), and EVE Online which has NEVER charged for expanded content over and above their sub-rates.

If EA really wants to throw it back a few years to the old EQ/EQ II/WoW style of making paying customers pay extra, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot. FCEs are the best way to keep subs in this economy.

What datamining site are you talking about? According to the OP at reddit, the survey was sent to his email account, and several others confirmed that they received those as well.

I would pay for this, if I get a Proton Pack, or a skin to look like Ray or Egon, since this clearly seems to be a Ghostbusters inspired update.

This isn't more than a modest update overall. They might float a trial balloon but they are sure to find out they have no leverage to charge for it. Unless they totally half-arsed the announcement because they are on the heels trying to regroup. I know the video editor of most of the trailers they've produced, was among those cut.

So you believe everything you read online from "reputable" third party sites? Rule #1, mate: If it isn't on a First Party site like this one, in the relevant section, I suggest taking it with a grain of salt.

As I said, UNTIL or UNLESS they actually say ON THIS SITE that they're going to charge for it, it's free.

I could understand being charged for an expansion but they basically said this is the updates coming for this year so I don't see why we would be charged for any of it. This is just fear mongering.... its extra levels you have to pay for it because well you just do damn it!
Asani - Sorcerer / Kishira - Mercenary / Liexa - Sniper
Dead Server Refugee - Empire - Jedi Covenant (EST/PVE)

Love, like or hate the game try to remember that Opinion != Fact.
