    You'd think that the people that still play Everquest 1 would be sick of Sony releasing new expansions by now and would stop buying them. I think this is the 12th expansion pack for the game, does Sony even release any patches for the game that add dungeons (like Blizzard does with WoW)?

      the expansions add new content and keep the game interesting for players, they use a different model of introdusing new content but it's one that works and has worked for quite some time.

        It's a model that works... for people that have played it since the beginning... what about people who might want to start playing the game, or left a long time ago and would like to come back?

        Should I really go out and buy the game plus 12 expansions?

        $50 game + 12 x $30 Expensions = $410... yeah, no thanks.

          The base game hasn't been $50 in many, many years. They repeatedly ship it with all but the most recent one or two expansions (i.e. Everquest Evolution, etc.), usually for a $20-$30 price point with a month free.

          Next week, they start shipping the "titanium edition" that contains the the base game, the first 10 expansions, and a free month. Price? $20. Even if you paid $30 for the last two expansion (which you wouldn't - I think they go for $20 most places, now), you would pay $80 total. Not $410.

            ... Or you could pay $50 for WoW. And get all the new content (Dire Maul, PvP Arenas, Battle Grounds, Molten Core, Maradon, and now AQ) for free. Wee!
