Coming in "spring 2013" is the first digital expansion to BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. It will let our heroes continue their sagas to a new level cap of 55, along with "new epic" story content.

The expansion will include "fully-voiced cinematic conversations" as fans would expect. An all-new planet will appear on our jump drive computers; Makeb, which features a "vibrant alien landscape."

For subscribers Rise of the Hutt Cartel is $9.99, with 5 days early access if you pre-order before January 7th, 2013. Free-to-play users will be charged $19.99. It's out in spring.

Quite, EA still hasn't figured out how F2P works. If you don't go the distance it doesn't work, you NEED to keep the free players interested.

So they basically want people to subscribe for a month to buy the expansion. They don't really seem like they are comfortable with going f2p yet.
