I'm feeling Nickel and Dimed by Makeb

With "Rise of the hutt cartel" - one part of me thinks great it's only £5.99 and we will get Makeb, level cap, new storylines etc the other part of me thinks hang on didn't they say in E3 EA conferance this year that it's free (inlcuding new race: cathar)

I do hope they plan and annouce more than what they are saying otherwise it will feel like we arepaying for a patch not an expansion.

I too agree with others I would rather pay more for a full fledge get it from the shops Expansion with new classes, races, planets, act 4 etc than what at the moment seems like a nice patch.

So basically I feel kinda 50/50 about this one, we'll have to see what future annoucements will say, hopefully something we don't already know about since summer 2012.

In Makebs context they wouldn't have to give it away, they'd just need to make it buyable with Cartel Coins.

It truly is nickel N dimming the sub owners. Truly. No and , ifs, or butts about it. I keep a sub open. The Devs say their trying to "massage the F2P options" into the right balance spot. I feel their just trying to "massage my wallet". However I paid the stupid fee.

small update???? small update? if this were an update, it would be the bigger update ever in all the MMO.

this is a mini expansion or DCL. 10 BUCKS? that is nothing, pay it and QQ please.

Great post OP. I agree completely.

You started a thread called "I'm feeling nickle and dimed by Makeb".....and you're not being critical? O***k, lol.

You expect all that for $40? That's completely unrealistic. You might as well stop playing the game now if that's what you expect. A 2014 thing? You want to wait another year and a half for more stuff? Well, I guess you should shelve this thread until 2014 then since we're not there yet....maybe you'll get what you want by then, doubt it though.

Also, it would make no sense for them to release a $40 expansion pack this close to launching F2P.

Not to be funny but as a consumer Bioware's problems (actually EA's problems) aren't ours. Stuff happened but it is their responsibility to ensure this does not affect service (thinking more of CS and QA here) not ours to go "there, there you tried" as if they were some whiny toddler upset over a spelling test.

Now if they can't honour their promises then at the very least they have an obligation (for PR needs if nothing else) to explain why and possibly, if they wanted good PR and/or good customer relations, to sweeten the explanation with something. If only they had a mechanism for rewarding loyalty in this game...oh wait.

Or do you think EA would be forgiving of consumers not remembering to pay their sub?

So true...was it our fault that they made a game not able to retain subscriptions?
I wasn't on the beta team or any closed test , were you?

I don't mean you Darklorder. ^^

If they cannot deliver minimum of what other companies deliver, that means that they cannot compete, and then, well, its game over.

What do you think happens to companies that screw up and then yell to their customers "PAY MOAR" rofl

Pretty much sums it all. I don't know any other game which was handed over for free after 10 months of its existence. Sure, there are some restricton,but the core of TOR is story, which is entirely free.
