I'd like to see more info on this 'expac' before preordering!

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

What I want to know is there any point to my ordering this now when I've just recently started playing and am no where near 50, and probably won't be any time soon? Is all the content added above level 50? Is there any point to the expansion for new players?

What is with this logic of "It's only $10! Just buy it!" Do you realize how many little games I could buy on Steam right now for $10 or less? They're so cheap that I'm virtually guaranteed to get my money's worth (if you're going to price 'time spent entertained'), but that doesn't mean I buy everything I see on Steam.

Something's relative cheapness can be a bonus or an incentive, but as long as the price isn't outright prohibitive I make my purchase decisions based on product quality!

Also all you people who blow your noses with $10 bills - don't you want more info on the expac as well?

I know a lot of people have weighed on this, but...my $0.02.

- There's no sense of whether the price is going to go up after the pre-order period. If you think it might and you want it, buy it now.

- Otherwise: the only bene they've indicated pre-ordering will get you is 5 days early access. That's it.

Thing is, you may not be anywhere near 50 /now/, but we don't know when, exactly, this is going to drop. 'This spring', but Bioware has shown in the past that 'this spring' could just as easily mean June as March.

But even given that, it's not too difficult to level a character to 50 in about a month--meaning that by the time RotHC drops, you might have a level 50, a good guild, and wanting to get in early.

Then again, you may have quit playing in February, too.

So, you'll have to decide whether it's worth it to you for the potential for those five early days and with the likelihood you'll be around to take advantage of it.

As I have said in other CE threads, beyond the cool looking statue, music CD, collector tin, a book, map and security and a few other in-game vanity digital items only you can get, what did you expect paying an absurd $180 at the time? I am spending not even 1/10ths of the CE price and I still think its a steal compared to paying for coffee or movies for two.

I got the CE when the price for it tanked. I did not feel that $120 or whatever it was justify me ever paying for something that expensive no matter how much I liked it.

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.

I'm considering just waiting until they release it on the CM, which you know they will do soon after release. I have a bet with a friend that it comes to the CM within the first month after.
