I already pre-ordered, but hopefully we get answers to these soon!

In other words, is this a content patch, a mini-expansion, or a real expansion?
I'm hoping that they scale up the Ops or they come out with a new one with the expansion otherwise it will be complaints about no end game at launch all over again.

$10? No brainer even if I didn't want it (which I do). Can't wait for the new stuff.

I won't argue that wow expansions include a lot more content...for a bigger price. But nevertheless this IS an ep, with 5 more levels and a new planet. And it's really cheap. My concern, and the reason why I haven't pre-ordered, is that there won't be class stories, which sucks big time.

This game has also had several, if your forgot.

I believe in people warring

GW2 will charge because it will be REAL EXPANSION like other MMOs, not SWTOR though, and regular content updates like Makeb are FREE in between.
Get a grip dude, it's $10.

Wow... I thought I was full of doom and gloom, but you naysayers make me look like the eternal optimist. I'm excited about the expansion... and it's dirt cheap. $10!

Since they haven't said much of what they're releasing I will keep my expectations low and not expect as much of an expansion as WoW does, especially because it's 5 levels and one planet so not sure how much content can really be on one planet when looking at the past ones, but still worth it to me.

Guess my other post wasn't friendly enough and got deleted. Gist of it. It's $10. They aren't asking for 40-50... it's $10. They probably spent more than they will make purely on expac sales developing the content.

Unfortunately this. All the gear I currently have is going down the toilet. All the work for naught.

On the positive side, the current top raids are going to get easier.

I guess I will get it, but I might actually first wanna hear exactly what is this content like. The cost is not a problem, but I pay only for what I enjoy.

I certainly hope that with 5 new levels that each class gets a couple new abilities. If everyone just gets new ranks of existing abilities it will be a huge cop-out.
