So much for not charging subs for Makeb

We really have to ask what is the difference between an expansion and a content update. Then after we stated what is an expansion we divide it by 4 and if the Hutt Cartel Rise meets those requirements then they were right in charging 10 bucks for it.
So:

1)Level rise is definitely an expansion trademark.

2) Additional content needs to be in there too, and Makeb alone if it has the same dimensions of other planets then it`s not enough of content for an expansion, even 1\4 of it. If makeb is 2 times larger than other planets, or if they expand the game in some other way then i`ll be ok with it.

3) One new mechanic, like a mini game or the mentoring system needs to be in there.

With those 3 requirements fulfilled i`ll keep supporting this game. Actually i`ll be even happyer if they keep the micro expansions system. That other game forces you to purchase 40 bucks of expansions every year to play, with this system you are forced to pay only 10.

They never said it would be free they said it was a possibility (for some reason people do not understand what this word means)

Wowowow... Sorry but let's compare Makeb with WoW expansions once it will be out. Personally I don't think it will be comparable in size.

No they said it would be free, then they said it was a possiblity subscribers would be charged for it, now they are saying they will be.


It's not surprise, as I said when they first mentioned they "might" charge for it, that it was a done deal and they would, again though so many said they never would and/or to wait till they announced it and THEN complain.

But it's always far too late to get companies to change anything AFTER the fact.

Link to the quotation where they guaranteed it would be free. As all I recall is them saying it's still being looked into.

Probably........... and this is just a guess mind you............... because Bioware EA orginally said Makeb would be free for subscribers.


They said about 4 months ago that they were "thinking about charging for it now", and I said then that it was a done deal and it would be charged for, many said "wait and see, they won't charge for it" as many have said so many wrong things about SWTOR now.

What about new end-game content, with increased level cap they'll hopefully release at least one new operation so keep "hardcore" gamers something to chew on for a bit.

I support the game with 15 dollars a month plus my pre-order long before it was released, and my loyalty through the long stretch of no content updates. Furthermore, it doesnt matter what the price is, the MMO market has competition and i compare this product to it's competitors, whom currently are providing superior content updates for their subscribers at no additional charge, with expansions that include far more content than a single zone and a 5 level cap raise. This is content-update level stuff, but they want to nickle and dime us instead of giving us content updates like should be given to paying subscribers.

Again i point to trion, i'm not a rift fan but their developer is great, they have already published more than triple the content through updates than SWTOR has done in its lifetime, all major SWTOR content so-far after this will be additional-expense content. Hell, even STO is outpacing SWTOR now with a whole planet, guild updates, and more quests at no additional charge to its customers. Its bad when STO is releasing more content updates without charging than SWTOR...

BW is stupidly greeeeeeeeeeeeedy, and its this stupid greed that gonna kill them together with the game. Hopefully. Why the hell do you need to charge subs, what are you thinking ?? Many will leave from revolt I am sure. This will just make things worse for everyone. And you wont get more money - WHY? Because you will lose subs... aaargh this is like talking to buffalos.

GREED IS BAD!
