New SW:TOR expansion comming????

[BaronIveagh]

I'm trying to find a link back to the site they found this, but it seems that dataminers have been busy with the new 1.5 patch. One of hte items they supposedly found was Cartel Market unlock for something called 'Chapter 4: Rise of the Hutt Cartels".

Considering that all characters stories currently end at Chapter 3...

Found this with a quick google, http://www.swtor-spy.com/blog/304/chapter-4-rise-of-the-hutt-cartel/
Maybe they'll start doing what Lord of the Rings Online did when they went f2p and start pumping out big expensive expansions, though you'd think they'd wait and see how well f2p went over before starting in on a potential expansion...

Ok, so, for those too lazy to press a link, here's what we know:


New Chapter will be happening on a new planet ? Makeb
It will be unlockable in the Cartel Market
There might be same sex romance options present (source ? Gabe Amatangelo interview)
Level cap might be raised (speculated because when Makeb was first announced level 55 cap was mentioned).

Ok, it's official:

Rise of the Hutt Cartel is available for pre-order for 19.99 (9.99 for subscribers)and is a fully voice acted expansion that raises the lvl cap to 55.

Details as they emerge.

Very mediocre sounding expansion. To be somewhat expected after the move to FTP and layoffs, but really not what I'd need to get me involved in TOR again. I would've hoped for at least a couple of new classes (the existing roster is a tad dull).

Rise of the... Hutt Cartel? Really? I think I prefer pandas, even they are more menacing than the big worms.

Sounds like Star wars has been reduced to mob wars...Pity.
