So now we've gone into february and the info/news about the Rise of the Hutt Cartel "expansion" that's suppposed to launch in the spring is few and far in between. Am I the only one who has a very bad feeling about this? (and weren't we actually promised a steady steam of info "soon", not long ago?)

From my experience it's rare for games to withhold that much information when we're this close to launch. Which makes me wonder if there's actually a lot more info to give? Or maybe there's a delay announcement incomming, pushing it to summer of autumn? You'd think they'd want to start building the hype if they want to continue brining new players to the game, and existing players back and not just be satisfied with the revenue created from the Cartel Store.

My guess is you won't hear squat until within a few weeks of make going live so doesn't really present any concern. If we are having this conversation again in May, well then there might be room for worry.

Spring can mean all the way up until the 3rd week of June. Probably not as close as you think. They are live testing in Austin - I wouldn't be too worried.

Besides the newest item to drop will be 1.7 Return of the Gree. If there is any news to be had I would expect it to be on 1.7.
Give me Google, a strong constitution, and five minutes and I will have detailed diagrams, photographs, and illustrations of the act in question.

And that news is very slim on 1.7 they seem to have gone kinda quiet, which means two things to me it is about to start or they are having issues, at least that is the perception I am left with, and it is suppose to kick off here pretty soon, I have a bad feeling about anything that involves patching, back in beta they were bad at patching and they have got a little better, but light years behind other companies.. /sigh
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Expectations lead to suffering

A delay would probably = a real expansion. Right now, it's just an adventure pack.

^ This. Spring is a wide open "release" window. And there's a good chance they'll mis that window and the whole thing gets pushed back. It's February 2nd. It's not close to press release time for Rise of the Hutt Cartel.

The secret is that the tiny amount of info already released will actually be all that the expansion is going to have :P

No I'm not joking completely, the cartel market has been a huge source of revenue for them lately and if I was a CEO I'd say more of that instead of content that is free (or close to free, as the expansion is).

But that's also because of pricing fail:
"Expansion" - $10
1 mount - ~$18
epic ammount of content incoming
