Providing content for the players was not the reason for expansions. It was Money. If Verant/SOE gave one shit about it's players they would not have cut their ENTIRE CS department a month into a game that was so popular they didn't have 1/10th of the bandwidth needed to support it at launch.

Money. That was the basic reason for expansion. There is a reason that RoK took a year to get out and every expansion after was 6 months like clockwork. They were not prepared for the popularity of the game. They did not realize it was going to be a license to print money. Kunark was originally supposed to be content that was provided for FREE (as well as Velious) but when they realized that they could make a buck by selling the continent, they didn't bat an eye. When they realized they could keep making money they jacked up the price. RoK originally sold for $20.00, by the time PoP came out they were selling expansions for $50.00 because they knew people would pay it.

Don't delude yourself for a second that they were providing YOU with content and new experiences and that they gave a flying fluck what you thought. They were providing you with something to spend money on, that's it.

Demand, in business terms, can be expressed as money, which was the intent of my previous statements.

Big, if you were talking to me with your last post, we're saying the same thing man.

AAARRRGGH

Not directed at you. Just have always had a visceral reaction to the belief that game companies put out expansions to provide content for players.

It'd take 7 "8 day rotations (ie just shy of two months) before 2 more pieces of emu loot would be entered into the system under what Karsten just described.

Personally, for me, I'd prefer some form of Gaussian distribution with 1 standard deviation = 1 day with an average expected spawn date of 7 days! Randomness ftw!
