are you sniffing something, Bioware stated that content patches are covered by subscriptions, ohlsen said this was a content patch and not an expansion, on what world do you live on where subscribers and free to play players are the same ?

yes they are called expansions, wow has expansions, rift has expansions, this aint an expansion on any scale, its been stated by ohlsen this isnt an expansion, the only person saying it is is hickman who 2 weeks ago in the Q&A never stated anything different. So as for holding water your leaking like a bucket with no bottom.

You really gonna sit there and state that Free to play players and subscribers are in the same boat, pull the other on cos that has bells on it.

So your taking one interview where he might of misspoke and going on that. Do you have any idea how many of those 10 min interviews they go through at those conventions?

Also try reading in between the lines they pushed it back to spring to add more content. Maybe it that patch grew in size and it's not just a planet release.

But you guys are going off one interview where people mis speak and sometime are allowed too. No where did he post it here as official did he.

LOL you wrong most of the games with 39.99 expansion are just one zone. maybe this isn't as big as some of those expansion hence why your only paying 9.99 man.. It's not rocket science. Or is it?

This is called an expansion not a content update like a new raid or WZ.

I would try and read in between the lines here and assume content patch are considered smaller patches like 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 which were a ops, or WZ..

A planet that bigger than any other planet with new story lines, level cap increase, and other things to be a expansion of the game. A planet is an expansion of the game not just a small wz or ops that is an instance in fleet.

Yes yes your right, everyone is wrong but you, the press, the interviews, ohlsen etc etc we get the point, in the world you live in you cant be wrong even when given the facts that say otherwise, good boy /golfclap.

btw just incase that went over your head, that there is called sarcasm.

Well expansion could be called content it's a simple mistake to be made. MMO's have mis statement all the time.

A warzone or Ops is a small content patch very small compare to the Makeb content patch..

so now we all know small content patches WZ,OPS ect are free and large content patches that we get new level,story lines ect are not.
