Three new zones that are each three times the size of the original in game zones (i.e, equivalent to nine zones) that are fully explorable (you know, real zones not corriders used once for a story mission)

A new playable race

Flying mounts

819 new quests (including 3 unique quests for EACH class)

Story continuation from level 50 (not an entirely new story like SWTOR)

18 new 4-man dungeons

6 new 8-man raids (level 60)

3 new 24-man raids (level 60)

Three new abilities for all classes

Three new PvP modes

Mini-games including a casino/carnival games, mount racing and a few others.

All told it takes a few months to play through the content of that expansion. Just FYI, the base game prior to the expansion had 1,268 quests, 29 dungeons, 6 8-man raids (level 50), 3 24-man raids (level 50) and nine zones (which are 1/3 the size of the expansion zones). In other words, the expansion was equivalent in content to almost 75% of the original game. In fact, people are still playing through the content since the expansion launched and another expansion, similar in scope and size, is launching this fall.



What did we get with SWTOR 5.0 "expansion" for new content: 9 story chapters

5 uprisings All told, it is about 6-8 hours to play through the content and 90% of it is really not repeatable. People were pretty much done with this the first week it launched.



Finally, the price for the comparison above? $20. The price for a BW expansion is at least a month's sub so $15... look how much more you get for your money with the other.



It is pathetic how little content BW has given for wanting people to subscribe over the last two years. Frankly, they are taking players to the cleaners with this game compared to most MMOs on the market. Really, let's see what MMO players should expect from an expansion, shall we (and no, this isn't from WoW).Here is one for comparison:All told it takes ato play through the content of that expansion.

I doubt BioWare are EVER going to release that kind of stuff in a single expansion. Adjust your expectations. Life's more fun in the long run, trust me.
