Free? I'm in for well over $100 now. I think we have a different definition of "free."
Sure some other developers and publishers charge for every expansion pack, but that doesn't mean *this* game or it's expansions are "free."
If you'd like to see free content, look up Epic Games. Bonus packs are always free (and high quality) and - hold on to your hats - online play is FREE. No monthly fees.

Epic Games? of Unreal fame? They have a persistent world game? Because unless they're managing a persistent world, and the mass of servers on which they run (UT servers are NOT comparable) then the whole "no charge for online play" thing doesn't fly. MMO games cost a LOT more to maintain than FPS, racing, or any other console-to-internet genre.
(some other very cogent comments edited out for space)
If you think otherwise, you might want to reexamine your understanding of business practices among persistent world games.
