well now let's talk about the expansion. this is what we get (what we know for now):

here is the link: http://www.swtor.com/buy

First Digital Expansion - Coming in Spring 2013!
Continue your Star Wars™ saga with a new level cap of 55.
Experience new epic story content with fully-voiced cinematic conversations.
New Planet: Makeb - Explore a vibrant alien landscape.

Subscribers save 50% off the Regular Price - Only $9.99 ($19.99 Regular Price).
Receive five (5) days of Early Access* if you Pre-Order by January 7, 2013 11:59PM CT // 5:59AM GMT!

well now we can see this expansion won't be very high like MoP or Rift's expansion. BUT!!! the cost is only 10 dolars nothing else (subcriptors)
we are not paying 40-60 dolars for this expansion hell no, we are just paying 10 dolars and that is good enough for me.

now let's see what we get in this expansion (what we know of course)

new level cap (55)
new class story
new planet
i think i read: world pvp in makeb (http://torwars.com/2012/12/08/swtor-...s-perspective/)
perhaps the cathars



and of course a lot of things that we don't know.

personally i am realy exited about this and i've already pre-ordered.

peace guys and may the force be with you
I'm looking forward to it. I am willing to pay the 10 dollars for the expansion.

Thanks for the stuff - cancelled subscription today.

Integrity seems to be dead in the world anymore. So, I won't support it any longer. It was stated at E3 this was to be free for subscribers, it was clearly stated by James Ohlin that this was a non-expansion pack (which also on its own implies free, based off of what Bioware's own description of what is free to subscribers is) and they just suckered every one of you pre-orders.

Sure, it's $10 to pre-order - for 5 days of early access. The expansion might even be more than that. They did the same exact thing at release, and there was such an uproar about it, that it rippled the game for months.

My only question is: If I pay for this "expansion" now for the 9.99 price, will I be able to cancel my pre-order and get my money back if I feel that the information that they give later isn't enough to warrant my money?

If so, I have no problem paying now and waiting to see what else will be included in the "expansion". If not, I would rather just take my chances(and presume that not much else will be included because of the way they have handled things so far) and just wait to see if it's worth the 19.99 price.

And you really think EAware is gonna reply to you, so they can lose potential buyers?

Not really sure if you're attacking me or trying to state that EAware tends to have bad customer practices? lol

It's 5 additional levels. It's an expansion and clearly not a content update. The haterz are just a bunch of poor people qqing about having to spend money.

If you are subbed and saving Cartel Coins, I'm sure there will be an option to purchase the xpac in the Cartel Market after launch with your coins, essentially getting you the xpac for free.

Last night I saw The Hobbit in 3D (awesome movie btw). I paid $12 for the ticket alone and received 3 hours of entertainment. I easily burn 3 hours in this game just cycling through alts for Crew Skills on any given night. Already pre-ordered and done. Looking forward to the OPvP that is bound to flare up in the new leveling areas.

In case you missed this point:

Quote:
Also, at E3, they clearly stated that Makeb was the biggest non-expansion piece of content that would ever be released (the big selling point being it was supposed to be free).

Yeah about that.

Allison already said no.
