an expansion pack.


this is thinking WAY ahead, but what could be added to PS for an expansion? if you think about it - not much could be done to add on except some new weaps or something mediocre like that. according to the storyline and all that, it just doesnt seem possible for large changes to occur maaaybe something along the lines of "diff alien artifiacts/enemies of vanu discovered" or "wormhole opens some crazy shit happens" but this seems cheesy. any ideas?

If they make an expansion, i'll personally kick Dave G in the nuts.

They really don't need to, agreeing partially with what you said, they probably won't have content worth an entire expansion pack. How bout a "shock, horror!" patch. I've noticed there's a thousand and one EQ patches, and if i see that same thing transposed to PS in anyway, I know I won't be buying it. Like I said, just give us a few big patches every now and then.

There are a million different scenerios where they could take PS. I'm sure whichever way they go, it will be a thought out plan(if they already haven't).
Oh Frenzy....how will you know they won't til after you buy it? Trust me, they know what they want to do with this game & they won't be trying to leave us all hanging!!

A freak planetcore meltdown has resulted in a huge explosion seperating the planet into different hunks of rock and now it's a MMO space flight combat thingy.

Maybe just some new technology or underground facility is discovered and the dev departments of each empire turn it into new weapons, armor, or whatever as goes the story. Too many patches really would suck. Just like WINDOWS.

If alot of people play the game, they might have to add an expansion just for more fighting space. It could get clustered with too many people.

Plus another empire with different weapons would always be interesting to see.

Unless they plan on shutting the game down in a year or two, they'll need to release an expansion in order to add signficant changes to the game so that long-time players stay entertained. As much as you might want PS now, once you've had it for a year, you will start to desire some variety. And no, going to play a different game isn't exactly what a wise developer would recommend. Expansions offer big new changes (ie. new vehicles, new areas, new installations to fight for, and new items/weapons/armor to fight with) in one package, and they are what keep MMORPGs going. You can only fit so much into a patch, after all, before you get to a point where it's simply too big to have all your player base download for free.


I've noticed there's a thousand and one EQ patches, and if i see that same thing transposed to PS in anyway, I know I won't be buying it.
EQ has rather untalented developers and had a very complex and buggy piece of software. Most of the patches they've ever released are to fix bugs and imbalances with the game, rather than add new stuff. Asheron's Call, however, is probably more along the lines of what you're expecting. One patch every month, and usually a good patch which expands the game a little each time too. But, you WILL see fairly frequent patching, at the very least during the opening months of PS. As long as there's a publisher breathing down the developers' necks, there's a good chance the product will be pushed out the door before it's ready, and they'll need to finish the game with subsequent patches.

They'll need to make a spinoff of planetside. Planetside Beach Volleyball or something. Works for DOA3 We'll need to add hotter looking women to the empires though.

They might add some more units or naval..but that might be done in the updates so it's hard to say. Mot of the time, if any MMO does well, they'll make a couple expansions. Look at Galaxies, they had an expansion ready before the game was released and that's SOE.
