I'm sorry can you post a link where it says the price of the content update. The frustration for most people is reasonable, but this content is not going to cost the full price of the game because they said it will be "priced accordingly" which means that it will not be the same as a full game, it could be $5 or it could be $100 you don't know, but I'm willing to bet its not going to cost as much or even remotely close to the full price of the game. I don't understand when someone says something that they have no basis for what they say, it comes off as ignorant and trollish.

No. I'm not doing it. Priced accordingly for a game that hasn't even been out half a year is free. Somehow I managed to not have the content gaps that ppl tak about, but I never made it to 40. I've been patiently waiting for them to add something besides a lvl 40 lair and repeatable missions, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay for it.

What pisses me off most is that I have lost a great deal of excitement for STO I'll still buy it, but wit hthis in mind (why the Hell can't I type "with this" properly), I'm in no rush.

Okay, so we don't know the price yet. But, they said "IT WILL COST" and that's the bottom line. Even $5 is still $5 too much when you're already paying $15 a month for content updates, bug fixes, balance, and repair.

By tell of what the game's users have said, this area is a large gap of missing content within the game that needed filled anyways.

Age of Conan, by Funcom, filled it's content gaps with a whole new zone (Ymir's Pass) for FREE. Around the same time they added in another raiding zone for the higher leveled content players for free as well.

World of Warcraft, well it added some 5-10 dungeons and raids before it's first expansion, not to mention the armor sets, world events, items galore, PvP content, and so much more all for FREE. Their new expansion, TBC, brought not one new zone, but 7 new zones (8 if you count Caverns of Time) and they added in Zul'Aman and Sunwell prior to WotLK.

Warhammer Online added in their Land of the Dead zone for free roughly 6 months after the game's release.

Don't even get me started on how much stuff has been added to EVE Online for free.

My point? It doesn't matter whatever price they're charging, if it's above "$0.00" then it's too much and too excessive for a monthly fee game.

EVE Online? About 90% of the game (anything that wasn't in the initial build) has been added for free. They release expansions every six months for free. The latest, Dominion, was more of a huge (but really HUGE) bugfix (made battles for sovereignity in lawless space that much more enjoyable), but the expansion before that, Apocrypha, added wormholes, 5000 new systems only reachable through those wormholes, a whole new kind of ship (Tactical Cruisers aren't just a new category of ship, they're the first line of modular Tech III ships).

And all that time, players have needed to make no other payments than the initial game and a monthly subscription after that.

And now this... Jeez, even Blizzard has more dignity than Cryptic (though I consider 30 bucks just to be able to grind 10 levels further pretty outrageous too).
