Hi guys!!
 
I was wondering if carbine ever plan any expansions for wildstar. I don't mean like free new content like they do in the drops. But actual expansions with new classes and brand new areas. Like wow has done? 
 
Regards

I get what you are saying. The free stuff is great and I think carbine is doing an awesome job. I was just wondering if there is plan in the future for expansion once the game balances out. It would be great and would attract more players I think.

			Yeah, I'm with Mirta here.  We're paying a subscription for development, why not just give us all the developed content for the price of that subscription?  It'd go some way to making a lot of people feel better about paying a subscription, knowing that the sub is all they will ever pay after getting the game.

I'm hard pressed to think of an MMO in recent years (WoW aside) that has had a paid expansion.
 
Unfortunately WildStar is hemorrhaging, and games like that don't get big expansions. If the game does recover, we can look forward to more quarterly content.

			were getting disconnection issues. not expansions. i would just absolutely LOVE if this game worked right after following it for so long

Expansions are the biggest con going; get no new content for a year then have to pay for a box on top of a sub, it's madness.
 
I'll be quite happy if they could just deliver a decent amount of content/Improvements every 3 months.

You're not getting new content for free; you're paying a sub.
 
IIRC, Carbine originally planned to do no expacs, using the sub to justify cosntant content drops.  They abondoned the 1 drop/1 month schedule a long time ago (honestly, it was crazy to think they could do it that fast anyway) but I haven't heard of any other changes.

Depends on how you see it. It takes a long time to make an expansion, so they need to start planning it early. If they are going to make one, I'd be surprised if they haven't started planning it already. Nothing concrete, of course, but they are probably thinking about what to add (new races? new classes? prestige classes? new paths?), and slowly putting together a content-list. So while six months is too early to release one, it's not too early to spend six months creating it and releasing it at the one year anniversary. ;)

			Due in part to the repeated claims of "we have a years worth of content ready to go" which ended up being "....oh yeah... in development we meant. It's not actually launch ready"

			The reason I would like to see and expansion outside of the drops is to be able to level further. Like move on to level 60 and then 70. Something in that order. Also the content to level further should compromise of atleast a couple of hours game play. New raids... new classes... new spells. Spell buffs becuase of higher level zones. Not just a new area to go questing. Thats just boring. Also new dungeons and adventures

			I'm all for expansions.  They're good justification for a lot of quest content and new features.  They create a natural opportunity for an advertising push similar to the initial launch.  They provide a context for big changes for the better, and let a studio work on the same game longer (by not having to justify their salaries with new games).
