    No, we don't call it an expansion.  It isn't an expansion, therefore it's not called an expansion.

    they will be gone.

    and your cash. you payed for them.

    Expansion LOL.

    It's a card game.  Woopdy-Doo.  It isn't that expansion Smedley promised in 2006.  It isn't Capital Ships that the development team promised when the NGE went live.  It isn't collision detection that the development team promised when the NGE went live...

    It's a card game.  It's a card game.  It's a card game.

    No, you call it what it is, a Trading Card Game or TCG whatever you prefer. Smed and others I think have confirmed that SWG will have no future expansions.

    ...The spread of secondary and latterly of tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought.

    Every Chapter is considered expansion level content to them, because they haven't had one in so long they forget what an actual expansion is.

    It's a card game, but it has some heavy tie in's to SWG with rewards, loots, etc.  An expansion is a content addition to a game that often adds a whole new style of play to a game (such as JTL), is it not?  Last I checked, this will be a different style of play from the main game, hence why I questioned if calling it an expansion would be appropriate.

    To me an expansion means an expansion to the gaming environment. I wouldn't consider a card game to be this. As it has been stated it is a complimentory game to SWG, and not an increase to the gaming world.

    Did anyone ever call it an expansion when they introduced things like the Jubilee wheel?

    Ask 100 World of Warcraft players how many expansions WoW has, 100 will tell you it has 1 expansion (The Burning Crusade), it also has a trading card game, but then WoW players don't have to reach for positives like SWG players do.

    It is little more than Real Money Transactions in a clever package.  Calling it an expansion is just being deceitful.  It isn't like there is a new planet or outer space to fly around in that wasn't there already.
