Is there enough of a market to warrant a $30 price tag?

    Oh I'm not questioning its profitability. It wouldn't be online still if it wasn't making money. Ultimate earns a fairy nice profit. I'm just wondering if there are enough people willing to pay $30 for an expansion on a fairly old game. Power to them if it's working.

      Given that you can play the basic game for free and that they had a million new users in the past year they will sell copies of the game to those players who have been playing for free and want the enhancements. Also expansions in AO are not like in other MMO's they tend to be new layers of game play, this expansion adds what amount to WoW battle zones and ads giant mechs to the existing PvP... as well as the more normal new zones and such. So for old palyers of the game it provides a new experience not more of the same. I have been playing AO since launch (yes it was terrable for a bit there) and I pre ordered the expansion. I have played every MMO out there and am in the beta's for some that are not out yet and AO still holds it's own aganst the best of them.
