Today, BioWare officially announced their first expansion pack: Rise of the Hutt Cartel! It will include a brand new planet, Makeb, full of cinematic story content and five more levels for players to gain. And what are new levels without new abilities, so we're getting those too.
The launch date is this Spring, but pre-ordering end January 7th. You get a 5 day head start by pre-ordering. It's probably a good idea, as it will spread out the load. I, of course, pre-ordered. Since I subscribe, it only cost $9.99. For F2P players it will cost $19.99.
I am perfectly ok with spending money on quality content even as a subscriber. The more money BioWare gets, the more likely it is we'll get more of the same as time goes on! I'd much rather give them money for expansion content rather than stuff in the store.
