You are absolutely correct. It is ridiculous that we don't have to pay for this expansion/replacement. I might just cancel my subscription

If it makes you feel any better about it you can send me $40 for the expansion/replacement?

for those that are havign difficulty EVE IS DIFFERENT, it cannot be compared to other games.
its completely centralised. OF course they cant charge you for a f****** expansion! its not like guild wars where you could keep playing the original - it not like anything.
you say im not listening! i must have said it 3 times
How is it different? If you had to pay for eve expansions and you didnt you just wouldnt be able to use any of the new content, the new ships, weapons etc.. I admit its a bit more complicated then that but heck if sony were running this game you can bet your ass thats how it would be done.
The expansions are free.

Any other game I can think of charges for content updates of this kind so I think CCP saying this is free is totally justified.
Most MMOs argue that you pay your monthly fee for server maintainence, customer support, bug fixing etc but charge for any new content.
EQ (1&2), WoW, SWG, DAoC, AO... all these games charge for their major content updates. CCP doesn't and I don't think it's unreasonable for them to advertise the fact.

wow this is the first whine thread where the entire community has unified against the OP
go team!
WoW players can choose to upgrade to burning crusade for $40 but they still pay a subscription...
we pay a subscription and do not have to pay extra for the expansion.. while we may not have a choice not to upgrade, most wow fanatics cant bare the thought of NOT upgrading.
I do not understand why you cannot see what we mean... the expansion is free, you dont have a choice about not upgrading sure.... but your not CHARGED EXTRA for upgrading hence it is FREE

Financially, its free.
Yes, time spent waiting for it to come out isn't free - if you're arguing that, then explicity say so, otherwise people will assume you're talking about cash.
And ffs, this is supposed to be a happy time, lighten up and stop worrying.

this point is imho very valid .. but i still don't see why to make such a fuss about it.
EVE is by design a single-shard persistant gameworld. if there would be a server running one of the old EVE clients - it would contradict this concept of a single-shard persistant gameworld, wouldn't it?
the updates to this single-shard persistant gameworld are free - as there's no extra charge to get/install them.
so what's your point then??

They haven't signed any contract that they have to deliver new content and that otherwise I can get my money back. So they could give us no content patches at all and let it just run, until EVE finally dies.
Now there is a content patch that they didn't have to deliver by a contract and they don't charge us for it, so it's free. 
Funny, this topic seems to come up with each big content patch. We had it before RMR, and we'll have it with Kali 2 and 3.
On the fanfest, when they announced the merge with whitewolf, it has been said that everything stays the same with EVE content patches as far as I remember. So nothing to be afraid of.
CTD/con-loss vs. regular log-out. A proposal ...

Yes, I am afraid to say I follow. For example, most people do not run around with their underpants on your head. I follow the example of this people, unquestioningly. Failing to do so would result in me looking like a complete idiot.
I suggest you take your underpants off your head.
Between corps atm, the NPC one is strictly a temporary thing.

Since you seem to like technicalities, please read the EULA to see how you did not pay for them.

ESRB Notice: Game Experience May Change During Online Play
I really like that little ESRB notice. It fits so many of these threads.
To expect the game not to change is a bit rediculous. To expect a hugely complex game that has enough content and freedom of play that it could keep a large populace of players entertained for years and years, to be released in perfect and complete form from the get go is... well, naive at best. So the alternative is an iterative release or change cycle. Which is what we got.
To not have to pay for these inevitable changes is a bonus. Other companys aren't so nice.
But that's not really the point. The point is, like other posters have stated, that alot of people expect to pay for expansions. IMO they only stated it was "free" to make sure all understood how EVE works.
I think it is you, OP, who are making the topic more complicated than it is. Sure we "pay" for these changes in the form of putting up with extended down times and new bugs and what not, but that's just the nature of the beast.
Simplest way to put it... Don't like it? Can I have your stuff?

The monthly fee is to keep EVE running, it has nothing to do with expansions. Even if EVE never saw a single expansion you'd still pay that monthly fee, like you do with every other MMOG. So no, you didn't pay for this expansion, nobody did. Hence it's free.
And the devs have said time and time again that EVE expansions will always be free. Hell they answered that exact question last week at the fanfest.
Seriously, I've seen some pretty stupid whines on here but this has to be near the top of the list.

Compare the monthly subscription in EVE to that of other MMOGs, I think you'll notice it's the industry average. How many other MMOG's provide regular content expansions at no extra charge?
Your argument is flawed.
