...obviously, as I'm utterly lost. FFXI. Expansions. True. My upstairs neighbors spent more on the expansion than on the original - because he bought it to play a blue mage, and by jingo, he's going to PLAY a blue mage.

It's a fair point that in order to sell an expansion you need a complete product...it's generous of the players to pay Graal for the privelege of playing a game that's still growing, with quests yet unfinished and un-debugged...so yes, charging for "expansions" that only deliver what was initially promised would be wrong, but sidequests? Races? Prestige classes? Once all the core stuff's up, what's wrong with making a buck off expansion?
