Q: With Issue 11 you are adding a lot of content that most games would release as a paid expansion, and yet you are giving it out for free. Are there any plans for a paid expansion?
A: The short answer is yes, we will have a paid expansion. It's something that we are not quite ready to talk about yet, but some time after Issue 11 we will let you know about it. Basically we wanted to complete the first story arc before we looked at a paid expansion. With Issue 11, I think we have done that. We are adding player housing, new monsters, a new character from the books, a new 12 man raid, and over 100 new missions to the game. All of that is just in this one Issue. We really felt that player housing should be in before an expansion, players want it, and it is something we wanted to give them. That with the new content we think really fleshes out the first story arc, so we can then start talking about the next one. I can say that the paid expansion will introduce new lands, and if you follow the lore, you can probably figure out where we are going.
They've also uploaded three videos showing an in-game version of Gollum.
