Well good to know there are intelligent people that still play the game. Anyway I'm done with this topic time to get off the crapper.. Wasting time on certain type of people who always like to complain on the interwebs isn't worth time outside the bathroom.

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.
lol like i said, if they said jesus was a dev you would beleive it. wanna buy some magic beans ?

Yes I do, why offer it for pre-order when you aren't ready to tell people. PR stupidity.

Oh I agree man!! there are lots of things i want to smack Bioware around for but this argument is just funny and doesn't hold water given they corrected themselves in AUG in this interview saying Makeb might not be free.

What (if anything) will subscribers have to pay for after F2P launches?

I wish I had a solid answer for you on that. We’re still in discussion about some of the larger content updates that we’re planning. Great example is the planet Makeb. We’ve talked about Makeb, we have a lot of plans around Makeb. I wish I could give you more details, but I can tell you that I think the playerbase is going to be really, really pleased. More story content. New and interesting things for the players to do. More systems and interesting functions in the game … I can’t go into a lot of detail, but around things like that … This is a pretty big piece (of content). It is probably all that I can say. It is definitely still for discussion whether we sell that to the subscriber or the subscriber gets that for free because it is a big beefy chunk of content.

Sadly you can't name a single subscription MMO that charges for content upgrade's. You don't find it odd that it went for content update to expansion? They changed the wording so they could charge for it.
