Unlike Blizzard, Bioware are not going to rip us off by charging us for an expansion on top of a subscription....(at least they did mention it was going to be that way)

it's going to cost 100 dollars ... but it will include a free picture of George Lucas laughing and pointing at you as he holds a Jar Jar doll

Free. Because this isn't an expansion.

Chances are expansion packs will cost about the same as SWTOR does now.... but I will not buy one unless they implement free roam space.

Sigh... again, BW stated prelaunch that they didnt INTENDED to charge extra bucks for expansions, cause plain and simple they will never make expansions per say.
BW will add their content through content patches like what weve been seeing so far: i.e 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and so on.
At least that was their initial design, so pls stop especulating with something that if its coming (i aint referring to the extra world and level cap increase that one will be a normal content patch) is still in a galaxy far far away.
Stop making WoW analogies to SWTOR please. Just because Blizz and every other MMO outthere in the past charged us for expansion packs it doesnt mean that BW will follow the same philosophy and in fact like i said above they did said exactly the opposite in the prelaunch of the game.
But even IF they do follow the same path, ill gladly pay for it like ive been paying for expansions for the last 10 years.
Not seeing the big fuss over this to be perfectly honest.
I saw a dark explosion. I sensed a power within. I felt the urge, the rage, the power... I AM REBORN!!

I would only pay $9.99, but nowhere near the normal $40 for a typical expansion pack.
I'd pay ten bucks just to read all the drama you people make up on a daily basis.

Lets all worry about the theoretic cost of a free expansion. ;p
May the Schwartz be with you....

And even if the new content will be free, BioWare had clearly thought about charging us for it (that's why they had made these surveys in the past).
holy crap did you even watch it??

He says it is coming out in a future update. You are really stretching here. It's coming out as a free content update live with it. The survay you mention also gave you 90 days for 9.99 which makes no sense and gave you a free ewok??

I'm not really interested in an expansion any time soon because there needs to be more to do at the current endgame. With that said the content update has everything that an expansion would hve:
New Planet/Region
New Space MIssion (most games don't have a seperate combat engine)
New Warzone
New Abilities
Increased Level Cap
New Class Story (other games don't have this)
New Companion (Other games don't have this)
New Operation/Raid

I'm not sure why people are saying this isn't as big as any other expansion. This is exactly as big as any other game's expansion. Remember that these are the major features, they obviously aren't telling us about the smaller features yet, they haven't even announced it as an expansion.

they have specifically said it is NOT an expansion and will just be in future content updates. They said ti will be the most any MMO has ever received in a free content update.

All of the lvl cap and other stuff amounts too, is finishing the game. In fact the entire first year or so amounts to resetting and figuring out how to get things right.

As for space? Space in SWTOR is like the guy playing Galaga in The Avengers. You see it, you laugh, you move-on, because it is a joke.
