    EQ expansions were every six months for several years. 

     

     

    One of the big reasons I never bothered to try that game, catching up 7 expansions is just ridiculous :S

    WOW will have the same issue of catchup

     

    5 years from now, it will probably have 4 expansions and level cap of 100

     

    EQ1 did not raise their level cap every expansion

    Game launched with level cap of 50

    8 years later, the level cap is 80

    I do not understand your reasoning.  Do you like expansions or don't you?

    If you are worried about money, you can get ALL but the last one in one package for $20.

    BLizz is going to hold on this one until they see the impact of WAR or AOC. If all is well then why pull out the big guns. If those games dig into subs then I am sure LK will be put out quickly.

    The problem with the EQ expansions was that they were gated.  That means that a lot of the promised content wasn't available at the time it was released.  They would use the money from the sales of the expansion to finish it.  I'd rather wait a bit and get everything I paid for from a finished expasnion.

    Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?

    Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

    Blizzard have no idea. The decision when to release will be Vivendi's alone. Blizzard may know when they will, or have completed the work, but they will be unable to say the release date, because no one will tell them in case they blab.

    Yep, gated is the word to decribe how SOE does it's expansions. They sell a product that is partially complete and use the subscription fees to pay for the rest.

    Yeah, Blizzard completing the work prior to it being released by Vivendi would probably be a good idea. :)
