evidlante Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 So Shadow of Revan has come out and I am looking forward to playing it but I wasn't expecting the final price to be $20. When the pre-order was up, I figured the price was for the two expansions and the bonus items. The price is still the same after its release. From what I can remember, the Cartel expansion cost $10 on release and later made free for subs. The $20 makes sense for a F2P or preferred user. Subs however already own the Cartel expansion one way or another. Why is there no option to just buy the Revan expansion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Kaitou-Kid Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think that's just their pricing for expansions now. If you check out their webpage for ROTHC it's actually listed as $19.99. I'm guessing they decided sometime after making it free to subs that $19.99 was a better pricing option or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscribers were offered a discount with RotHC. No such thing came to pass with SoR. For whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evidlante Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 That's right. I forgot about the discount for subs. Thanks for reminding me. Still, $20 for the two seems reasonable to me, but I would like a option for SoR at $10 or even $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That was the price for non-subscribers. Subscribers were offered a discount with RotHC. No such thing came to pass with SoR. For whatever reason. because the inital word was that Makeb would be free to subscrtibers, the discounted price was an attempt to soften the blow somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerba Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It doesn't really make sense to buy SoR without RotHC. You still need to level from 50-55 before you can start the SoR story anyway, and RotHC is the best way to level there. All MMOs give away the older expansions for free after some time, so this is not really greedy EA but standard business practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evidlante Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm not knocking that it is better to have both. I completely agree. What I am saying is why is there no option for those that already own Cartel to just buy Revan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is why is there no option for those that already own Cartel to just buy Revan.Because buying SoR includes RotHC for FREE. Even if it wasn't included, SoR would still cost $20. RotHC is older content that they've long since been giving to subscribers for free for months. All they did was create an avenue to give it to non-subscribers who were willing to cough up the money for SoR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horaciozhao Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 yeah, they are not selling both expansion with that price, they are selling one and the other one is just a bonus, coz you can´t get to lv60 without getting to lv55. And I seem to remember I paid more for Hutt expansion than this one, paid something like 16 or 14 euros for it, this one was 12 euros for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
