btw just incase that went over your head, that there is called sarcasm.
You are wrong.. the front page that say Makeb Expansion proves it. Makeb is an expansion no a regular content update like a warzone or OPS.

Hold on let me check the front page again yes yes I see it.. Makeb expansion for 9.99.. Mmmm it doesn't say it's a content patch which are free. It''s an expansion which you don't have to buy..

You can continue to play the game and all the wz and ops and not have to buy it either. you will just be locked out of that area like 100% of the expansion in other mmos.

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.
No we don't know. They could charge $4.99 for the next warzone or op. I mean hell it was Ok to charge for a large content update....why wouldn't you pay for a small one?

It's simple man look at the content of Makeb and the amount of work it takes a company to make that content.

A warzone or ops might take 1/10 than man power.

Look at it this way Makeb very well might have started out as a free update patch 1. whatever. then they keep on adding and adding to things and it gets bigger and bigger. then they say this has some real value..

If it's the biggest planet they have made so far that is close to being the size of a couple wow expansions that have released too.

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.
So why haven't they told us what this is then?

Where can I look for the Content? Oh I can't. But they said it is huge! They also said it was an upgrade.

I've been around the MMO scene a long time and I'm pretty sure I've always paid for expansions. This one seems pretty cheap to so I'm happy with it. I don't mind paying extra for bigger content. You don't get things for free I'm affraid.
