The only thing I'm confused about is, does paying the $10 only give you the 5 days of early access? In other words, will I have to pay the full non-sub price of $20 after Jan. 7th? Because I can wait five days if 10 bucks only gives me a week of access before everyone else. Just not sure what the 10 bucks will get me, and what happens after Jan 7th if I haven't preordered yet.

But, yeah, I'd like to see more info from Bioware as well, or at least an extended deadline to preorder so we can know a bit of what is in Makeb. That said, who am I kidding, I'll probably end up preordering anyways.

Wow, did they pull the state of the game or is this an error? I can't get to it anymore either.

I thought it was this:

Pay 10 now and receive the expansion at 10 dollars AND get early access.

If the 7th passes:

You must pay $25 and you do not get early access.


I am making a general assumption that they will extend the offer date.

I already bought it so if they do, great for other people. If they don't, people don't have any room to complain as they were told up front what the day was.

And for those complaining we don't know a whole lot: Yes it is kind of vague but the new state of the game does indeed make it look like there is a heck of a lot more to Makeb than was originally planned. I took the risk and I don't regret it. It's not the original leaked Makeb content from what they are saying.

I did pre-order simply because $10 is ridiculously cheap and I want to continue to play and level my characters. But I understand the hesitation, as I truly am mystified by their constant hush-hush about everything until the last minute policies lately. Why not just announce things? are they so working on a day to day to day basis with everything that they really aren't sure what's going to make it into the expansion? I guess looking at the past year, this really isn't a stretch.

For me people who bought the CE paid and got what they wanted, the statue and a bunch of shiny stuff.

Now if you can find exactly where on the product states that CE subscribers will get more things down the line, please show me.
In Febuary 2012 in a thread, a yellow name did say more would be added to the CE vendor. And it never was.

I believe - subs will pay $10 whether you buy the expansion NOW.....or buy the expansion when the expansion releases. I have seen no information that says the price is going to change for sub's/or F2P after the 7th.

Pre-ordering (ordering prior TO January 7, 2013) simply gives you 5 days early access - don't pre-order...your still gonna pay $10.....you just won't get access until the expansion goes live for everyone.

Feel free to correct me on this...............

You're going to buy it anyway regardless so pre-order and be happy.

+1

It's true...every person who is reluctant...or "waiting for more information".............is just gonna buy it anyways - regardless of if they tell you EVERYTHING...or NOTHING.

It is a massive content drop....people are going to buy it.....and people are going to come back to the game, because of it.

I'm quite optimistic with the future of TOR..........I don't see this game getting it's plug pulled anytime soon.

They haven't guaranteed anything other than the cost difference if you pre-order before the 7th or after from $10-$20. I wouldn't go off anything else until it's in writing.
