Friend and I will be purchasing a pre-order i nthe next few weeks.

The pre-order is not immediate for a few reasons:

1)We are leerly of the post-50 expansion. Both of us have late 20s-mid-30s characters and the game "ends" at 50 in so many MMOs, we hope that isn't the case here and there are actually quests/flashpoints with some difficulty at level cap.

2)Cartel Market dissatisfaction. We just aren't spending our coins. We came from City of Heroes where we had a LOT of cosmetic options; understand here looks are gear based and you can earn social items which is fine, but I'd pat coins for say...a themed outfit that I could mod, or stuff like that. Or just...stuff like a server transfer (not that I need one, Ebon Hawk is fine so far) but the prices seem too high on a lot of stuff.

Still like the game after a month or two and not unsubbing, just hoping the new planet has a good amount of content and some flashpoints/interesting arcs. I hear there are no actual class arcs which is a shame...

if vanity is your thing go play skinwars2 aka gw2.

Will not buy the digi pack based on the current information. 5 lvls is not worth 10bucks.

We hit level 10 on the starter Planet.
Would you spend 10 bucks just for one of the starter planets that we leave in 30 min to an hour?
Just a thought.

Well, for me...I started out subbed and my friend f2p. He switched to a sub with the "xp loss" at level 10 or so, where there was a marked slower progression compared to me. I wouln't pay $10 for a starter planet, no. But I would pay $10 for:

New planet
Bunch of arcs on planet
Expansion of skill trees
New Active class power
Level cap increase (though I doubt I will have even one 50 by then...)

And I'll pay $10 just because I am enjoying myself at the moment and if the money helps fund more stuff and longer access before the game decays, that sounds fine. Now that being said, I won't be doing this multiple times a year...I do expect some free stuff with my sub.

Bought it because it's only $10.

I haven't decided. I probably won't buy it, and will probably let my subscription lapse. I'd get the expansion if I could use my cartel coins on it.

If they expect me to pay $20 as a subscriber if I don't pre order early on then they can forget about it. This content seems necessary to keep playing though, otherwise you won't be end game. I just don't know if I'll want to keep playing next year, I'm on my way out the door because I don't like their new business model.
I think you're having trouble understanding what you read, because I've already seen you writing this rubbish in another post. NO - THEY ARE NOT EXPECTING YOU TO PAY 20$ IF YOU DON'T PREORDER!!! SUBSCRIBERS PAY 10$ now... I hope we got that straight... preordering before 7th of January gives you 5 days of headstart, it does not influence the price.

Just thought I'd try and explain it...
