Will this be update 1.7 or a far more more extensive update / expansion (i.e., 2.0)? http://www.thinkdigit.com/Gaming/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republics-writer-reveals_11595.html
Where does that artwork originate from? More bummed about Revan holding his lightsaber like Starkiller
Hehe, I'm not sure how large the Hutt empire is at the moment. I would think that they have no chance of challenging either sides... once they bring attention to themselves they're stuffed. It'd be great to fight a Hutt in Hutt battle armour though!
For those that haven't seen the big news, Chapter 4: The Hutt Cartel is now available for preorder until Jan 7. Non subs have to pay $19.99, subscribers pay $9.99. Those that preorder get a 5 day head start on everyone else. Includes a new planet (Makeb) and a level cap increase to 55. Release date is 'Spring 2013', so don't expect it before May.
I wonder if all the new material will simply be on the new planet or if they'll have updates on a variety of worlds?
Extra five levels? I'd expect expansion of ilum, that place is tiny. Extra content includes Makeb and new space missions, right? Look how big corella is... I would hope for more elsewhere
Interesting thing I heard today.... perusing the 'net today and came across something about all will be known about RotHC in 4 months. If true, that would put the expansion out in mid-April, so it will be either 1.8 or maybe skip straight to 2.0. It was also hinted that what little they've said about the expansion is just the tip of the iceberg, there will be new skill tree additions, more skill points (5, for the extra 5 lvls), more space missions. I would hope we'd see an increase in the cap for crew skills, with class 6 and 7 crew missions. Character transfers probably not available by then but one could hope. I'd like to move my lvl 50 Mara over to my new home.
Sadly it doesn't sound like it's actually going to expand on what we really want, the class story Source: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5607001#edit5607001
