Hey Dev's How about an actual expansion? Is that in the works ?

Apples & oranges. Are we getting 1 small paid expansion only? Or are we getting 1 small paid expansion and some number of unpaid expansions? Sure, the unpaid ones may not have new planets or increase the level cap, but they seem to do most other things in the game, over time, don't they?

Not quite. Other MMOs do both. Rift , imo, is one of the best at content updates. Rift also put out a large expansion. WoW has had a lot of updating and they put out large expansions. EQ2 has had a lot of updating and they put out adventure packs and large expansions. Lotro had a lot of content updating and put out some large expansions and some small expansions. GW2 has put out a lot of content updating and Im sure they will do large expansions.

What I am saying is that if we are to get the Makeb style expansions then I think we need atleast 2 of those per year, on top of the normal content updates. Makeb style, once per year , is not enough IMO.

They won't -- and shouldn't -- significantly revamp anything. Remember what killed SWG?

They can, however, add new features and mechanics into the game (space combat, etc.) in an expansion.

Agreed.

In my opinion, this "expansion" was nothing more than downloadable content. It didn't really bring anything new to the table for PvP other than new brackets and 2 new tiers of PvP gear to grind (and TONS of bugs and exploits).

I've only done Makeb twice for the storyline—once on the Republic side and once on the Imperial. I know I'm never stepping foot on that planet again.

That does make sense, didn't think of it that way. Turbine may be a small company, but it has what, two MMOs it runs? That would make a lot of sense that they could put the time into real expansions as they don't have their hands in a million things.

I haven't wanted to say it, because I'm sure I'll get yelled at for it, but I sometimes do feel like EA is trying to squeeze as much cash out of the game as they can before they shut it down. I really expect to start seeing game content in the cartel market instead of cosmetic only stuff, and that would be the nail in the coffin for me as a subscriber.

I hope I'm really wrong because this game is good and can be polished into a real gem. To bad they can't sell the game to a developer that might care about it, EA wouldn't give up the rights I'd bet on that.

The game just needs a little more polish, the space game reworked completely, and the announcement of a real expansion. That would bring players back, I'm sure. It will also never happen, but I hope I'm wrong.

The fact they let you level up 5 more levels more than qualifies for an expansion itself.

What killed SWG was the blatant disregard for cannon and allowing everyone to become jedi even though this takes place around the time of the first 3 movies when jedi if they are still around are in hiding

that did not kill SWG Their expansion that changed everything did.

I don't care if its 1 large 50 buck expansion or 4 smaller 10 dollar expansions either. I just don't think they are going to put our 4 smaller expansions either. If we only get 1 small expansion per year, I believe it becomes a problem.
