They are already discussing milking the subscribers

Not really, most of the planets can and will get you 5 levels easily. If you do everything on them you can get more then 5 levels.

Well I guess it depends. If it costs cartel coins I have little problem since subs get CCs every month. But I wouldn't want to buy a box that only has one planet. Either way if it's not a given for subs and only one planet it would have be be a great long planet with an awesome story (and with class stories of course). SO yeah I guess depending on what they do it could either be ok or outright awesome. Even if we do pay CCs subs will still have it pretty good and could probably get the content without paying beyond the sub.

God five more levels of this game's horrendous leveling experience.

Check WoW, 1 zone 5 lvls and a new race = xpack.... So if we get 1 planet, 5 lvls and a new race then it is an xpack if that is what they want to call it. SWG did the same thing with its last xpack before it crashed and burned. 1 planet 5 lvls and no new races in that one but people still paid for it. I don't care if they charge me or not. I will still play the game and pay for the xpack if i need to..

Might want to check what else came with WoW expansions and Rifts expansion and EQ2s expansions etc... It was far more then 1 zone, a race and 5 levels.

Tell that to any other mmo that has ever done so. If it is done properly there could be a lot of content come from one planet. Not to mention any other add ins that come with it. So I have to say yes one planet and 5 levels can definitely be an expansion. Just because they are adding one planet doesn't mean they can't change how they show them off. A new war zone, a few new flash points. It could work so before you flip out let's see what they offer first.

The Burning Crusade:
- Level cap raised 10 levels (60 -> 70).
- New quest area (Outland).
- New raids (plural, there were 5 new raids in the launch of BC.)
- Multiple new Heroic dungeons.
- A new Battleground (Eye of the Storm).
- A new Arena system.
- Open world PvP objectives.
- 2 new races (which, let's face it, is harder than BioWare implementing new races, since these races have entire storylines built around their respective peoples. In ToR, it's as easy as a facial reskin.)

Wrath of the Lich King:
- Level cap raised by 10 (70 -> 80).
- New quest area (Northrend).
- 3 New PvE raids.
- 1 new PvP raid.
- Multiple new Heroic dungeons.
- New "Hero" Class (Death Knight).
- A new Battleground (Strand of the Ancients).

Cataclysm:
- Level cap raised by 5 levels.
- New high level zones.
- Environmental redesign of existing zones, complete with "thousands'" (claims Blizzard, I've never counted ) of new PvE and PvP quests for those zones.
- New open-world PvP questing area.
- 2 new PvP Battlegrounds.
- A new PvP instanced dungeon.
- 4 new raids.
- Multiple new Heroic dungeons.
- 2 new races.
- New talents and spells for existing classes.

Mists of Pandaria:
- Level cap raised by 5 levels.
- New continent, as well as new leveling areas throughout the world.
- 3 new raids.
- Multiple new Heroic dungeons.
- A new class.
- A new race.
- Complete overhaul of talent system.
- Pet battles.

So... let's recap, shall we? Each and every expansion featured a level cap increase, new quest content, multiple new raids, new PvP content (except Mists, apparently), plus a smattering of additional goodies. And let's not forget, they were releasing content in between these major expansions as well; content which was free of additional charge to subscribers.

-Macheath.

Just one planet and a five level increase? They better not charge subscribers for it. I'll cancel my subscription over something like that.

Now, if they decide to expand the Galaxy to 10 planets and increase the level cap to 60, I'd pay $39.99 for that type of an expansion. Not one planet though, they can slob the knob if they expect me to pay extra for an update.

I was going to reason it depends how many hours it lasts you but no. There is no point paying a sub if we are paying for zones as well. If we are paying for zones as well we might as well go f2p with a cash shop.

Pricing in that case needs to be on average play time, say a couple of characters, and stick with it as a rule, whatever that average pricing is.

That is what your cartel coin allowance for your monthly sub is for. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND REAL WORLD CURRENCY!!!!!

Yeesh.
