Well i would love it if they give it to me for free...but then pigs will fly and world will come to an end. lol
But no seriously i think price is fine because it is a content update and not a proper expansion which usually goes for 40 or more bucks.

It's a single planet plus an increase of the storyline, plus an increase to the level cap, plus an increase in flashpoints, plus an increase in warzones, plus an increase in gear, plus a change to the skill system, plus an increase in pets,holos and achievements....
Yeah $20.00 sounds about right.

Your not getting just the planet, your getting new hardmode dungeons, new raids, achievements, new skills, new PVP and PVE gear, class changes and PVP changes, raised level cap, and Makeb is bringing new different types of missions and JUMPING PUZZLES
Check out the Datacron Jumping Puzzle, it took this player 12 minutes to get it. ( and it wasn't her first try)

Here is a video of the cool new missions their introducing.

But overall, this is more of a DLC (but a pretty big one)
That was a pretty cool puzzle. Would be a lot easier if you could actually use flying vehicles, beyond just flying taxi's on rails.

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
Oh dear, it looks like STO will cause pigs to fly and the world to end, as their expansion is FREE, being first announced in March and then released May, only 2 months later. Thats the way to do it! Not June 2012 and then April 2013, 10 months later and has a price
Content updates should be free
Star Trek Online - Best Free MMORPG of 2012
Somewhere, an EA exec read this and went "LOL".
Not enough content for 20 bucks. I think subscribers get it for 10 buck + 15 of the month = 35 lol..... definitelly not enough content for the price.
Like Eir_S said, too many full games for that price on steam (and for less on sale).
Yep. Thats how they want it. And i feel so sorry for people who still play the game.
take away SW IP there`s nothing in a game to look at........ Thats tells the story.
FINE. Then I hope Bioware enjoys the continuing shitstorm for their Wannabe Star Wars MMO.
Sure, who needs freedom in an MMO anyway. As long as some remaining subscribers enjoy the linear railroad track through static planets with 46 alts and legacy level 5000, spending money on the cash shop, everything is great in EA-Land.
"It's a great game - if you don't compare it to SWG" - cool, quote of the day.
This will go down in history:
SWTOR -> forever in SWG's shadow. Big footsteps Bioware was incapable to fill.
SWG -> the Sandbox MMO which got shut down in favor of a linear, static Star Wars Themepark named SWTOR

hehe, funny....true but funny.
Anyways, i stopped buying EA games since they ripped me off with Dirt 3......bought the game for about 40€ and then they ask me ingame to buy their cars is a single player racing game......too greedy for my taste.
Thats like asking 20€ for a mount in an MMO......oh wait.....doh...
It all seems normal to buy content these days but i aint playing that greed game anymore unless its PURE cosmetics like GW2 and POE.
So it is just 1 planet
Why do you lie?
You ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GET get recycled flashpoints or operation.
Class changes and PvP changes should have happened long time ago, besides everyone gets those, not just ones that buy the this content patch.
Everyone gets achievements.
So you get 1 planet, 1 zone and unwarranted level cap raise to make sure you cant go on if you dont dish out 20/25$
Its 20/25$. So its pretty damn expensive for a conrtent patch thats just one zone since proper expansions are 30-40$ for other games and contain 5-6 times more content (no instances included, with that even more).
Its a ripoff in EAs way.
Well, this is news to me since I hadn't really been paying too much attention to the game. I thought only the preorder and early access+perks was $10, but f2p folks would still get the content... eventually. This, along with the artifact-level restrictions, really drives home the fact that the game is not f2p, but simply a free trial.
How do other games that have converted to f2p like tera, aion, lotro, etc. handle expansions? Is end-game content restricted as a norm? Regardless, the fact that you can't even reach max level without paying money seems to sound the death knell for their f2p-model. It might have been a joke before, somewhat do-able after paying for one-time unlocks, but now it's not even an option.

They're dreamy.
big expansions,,like wow or Gw, i have no problems paying full box price for that
and i also feel, that the longer intervals payed off
yes we would wait a lot longer for changes,,but the changes was much bigger, when they finally did happen
the smaller updates just feel like upgraded patches, a new quest here and there, but nothing extraordinary
