It is not just a hourse but a dimension of the game area that you can completely customize) - raise in crafting level with new recipes - New puzzles, artifacts and collectibles, achievements, mounts, pets, titles, and much more I wont even talk about the entire years worth of free updating they did. It was atleast 5x's the content that ToR put out. I think we agree on the same thing maybe I just worded it wrong. I hope if they call it an xpack it has more than just 1 planet and a lvl cap increase. See how the race is going to the coins. I hope for a lot more if they want to charge me for it. But I don't see how they would raise the lvl cap with out adding in 3-4 FP and 2-3 raids as well

It's going to be impressive. We have our Update 1.2 coming in the next week and then after that it's going to continue to roll out month after month. It's exciting."

The economics of the business model however are the same. There is only one way to run a freemium business model +/- a narrow margin. Which is why in many respects SWTOR freemium looks and smells very much like LoTROs model, even though they are different game producers.

If its just 1 planet with 5 levels and some cheesy world story quests then its a ripoff. I dont care if they only charge 10 bucks for it. If it is of the size Im guessing it will be, its no better then free content that they call an expansion to charge for it.

Im not telling you what you do and dont like in an mmo. Im telling you that you ignored my post, because you know Im right about it but dont want to admit it, and you commented on 1 line of it that you could get away with disagreeing. So as I said, way to defelect and ignore the post.

As for the rest of that post... it was rehash of what you keep saying... nothing to comment on. You necroed up your own tired thread because you want to keep on ranting about what Biowares does with their game. Play it if you like it, play something else if you don't. Rehasing the same tired old rant over and over again is pointless IMO.

EA just made more money in the past week than they have made so far in subs. (well this is not fact, its just speculation but hear me out) Of the 12 or so people I play the game with, who are all subscribers, more than 1/4 of them have dropped close to a 12 months worth of subs purchasing more cartel coins. I have also seen many FTP players that have unlocked everything. they have all the pets and every mount. I wonder how much they spent to get that. EAware have made a truck load on this and they are getting hailed on by all the cartel coins. (I am stealing a daniel tosh reference there) Make it hail!

You want to come into my thread and speak against what I say but not back any of it up when I call you out. Go back to your dictionary and find some new lines to use. Freemium Strawman Ad hominem Hyperbole Conspiracy Conjecture Just about everyone of your posts can be boiled down to you telling someone they are doing those things. Get something new in your routine. EA is not going to give you a hall monitors job.

Well theres the proof in the pudding right there. Its funny how they had no time to create any of that content before. Now that they can charge extra for it, they can make it in mass amounts.... all while firing a huge chunk of their staff. Now what does that tell you?
