Rise of the Hutt Cartel - 1st Expansion for The Old Republic

So, the first expansion for Star Wars The Old Republic has been announced. Just recently, Bioware launched the free to play option for SWTOR and currently it gives you the chance to play the game up to level 50 with limitations that has been a hot topic for SWTOR debates. It's all going to get much more interesting in the new year when Bioware release premium expansions. So the question is, would you subscribe just for the sake of Expansion Discounts on top of the gameplay without limits? We guess this will mostly depend on the frequency of expansions Bioware release in 2013 and in the future. Bioware is already doing everything to bring back some of the former subscribers by offering free Cartel Coins and some other freebies, we can safely say that they will be offering even more benefits to subscribers in 2013.
