My guess is this comes out sometime in 2010 and not sooner.

Q: Will there be more free updates/Issues between now and the launch of Going Rogue?
A: Yes, in fact we recently announced Issue 15 Anniversary, launching early this summer.
[/ QUOTE ]
Will Issue 15 be the *last* free expansion pack we see in 2009, or can we expect to see Issue 16 this fall/winter as well? I (and I'm sure many others) are worried that we'll only see two free expansions this year like last year. Be nice to know if we'll make it to three and/or how many more booster packs we can expect to see before "Going Rogue" comes out in stores.

QR: Dear god, people. *hits head against wall* The FAQ doesn't tell us anything new, and we still have people asking questions like, "Switching sides? I don't understand what this means?" and "So this is all free, right?"
Sit on your hands, read the press release, think, and THEN post.

So...is this going to cost me money?:P

So excited for this! My tanker is so going redside! He's a [censored] anyways! Also guy in Trailer has a pistol!!!! SO me thinks DP is on the way!

I have a super-spy tanker who would be more comfortable going "undercover" in the Rogue Isles. I also wouldn't mind redeeming my granite brute.

I just pee'd myself a little.
Well ok Rogue is coming out and from I read COX has no details to tell us?!
All the questions asked COX said cannot answer at this time. Etc. Etc.
So no details from COX but more details listed on the News than the company is posting.
Great... give us something to drool over COX.
Wow, I just geeksploded all over the place. Can't wait for more details!

Unless someone else pays for you, that is! :P
Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Dang it, DANG it, DANG IT! Everytime I've talked myself into leaving CoX because of those "darn Devs" they pull out a spoonfull of awesome and force feed me to stay.
First -I15 (The best villain group in the CoX universe is making a real comeback) and
Seond- "Going Rogue" allowing my brute to be truly curious if he's ways are wrong, or my controller finally falling........
DANG IT! You win this round Paragon Studios! <

There are 3 kinds of people in this world
The kind that makes things happen
The kind that watch things happen
And then there are those of us who keep asking "WTH just happened!"
oooo... shiny! i want in!
or else!
please?
How will this Mirror World work in regards to bases?
Will the mission computer launch missions?
Will there be new beacons and teleporter upgrades?
May I request a beta slot :-).

This has to be one of your lamest announcements, yet.
Thanks for nothing.
Try posting a little information when you actually have something to announce, next time.
How ironic and perfect
I just re-rolled a toon on Red-side who use to be a hero of mine on blue side. She plays the villain in order to get revenge for events that happened on the Day of Chaos
Proud player of:
-------------------
Silindria (50 Fire/Fire scrapper - Head of The House of the Wayward Soul)
Crimson Arrowette (41 TA/Ar Defender - Leader of The Virtue League)
Just saw the trailer. Wow. Just wow. I think I spilled some glee on my shoes.
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
Now this is an expansion
Looks cool, hoping its a large area equal to all the zones in both coh/cov that allows us to mingle both sides with and without pvp areas.

First I hear about Dom buffs, then Dual Pistols, and now this. Hmmmm let see what else I have been wanting for sometime...Power Customiz...Nah not going to get my hopes up too high, happy with what we have now.
"Yes, winning all the time can be boring."
-Knight_Chill
"It's amazing how well you can put up with endurance issues if you hide them under a large enough pile of bodies."
-Spiritchaser speaking on Dom Revamp
I think it's going to in this expansion, for several reasons.
A.) They want to compete with other Super Hero MMOs that have promised power customization.
B.) The problem with power customization was that it would take too much time or energy to do in an issue. Being that this is an expansion, and much bigger than any 1 issue, Power customization could fit.
C.) The chick in the trailer had a red fireball that turned blue.
I have other reasons, thats the short version.
So this FAQ is essentially.
"We have heard all your questions, we have no real answers for you at this time."
That's kind of funny, honestly.
"Where does he get those wonderful toys?" - The Joker
I feel like I've just gained citizenship to the United States of Win
OMG, I have been waiting for four years to betray every single one of my villains to the hero side! YAHOO!
I can't wait to hear all the details. This idea is mega cool. I actually like the fact that there will be a new retail box because it means Going Rogue will be even larger than all the free expansions. NC almost never charges for them, so it's about time really.
My daughter is gonna flip when she gets home from school.
Anxiously awaiting further details....
PS/ Just think about what this will do for the PvP zones, too! Everyone always complains about the sides being unbalanced; Going Rogue, if it really allows the classes to switch sides, will help that a lot.

It's pretty much what I expected, at least at this point. I'm willing to bet there'll be more info come Hero Con time, even if only a little bit more, heh.
Oh, and count me in for beta 
Edited for spelling. Damn early morning posts 
Saw the trailer and like WOW Hope I can beta it like I beta'd CoV. And to think I was not gonna come back again mainly cause I don't like the new AE cause no one wants to do real missions anymore and also I got bored after 5 yrs on and off the game. This was gonna be my last month but maybe Going Rouge will be enough to change my mind.
Oh My! This is fantastic!
Great preview trailer! I am hoping I saw a clue in there with Desdemona's energy ball changing color to not only represent her changing sides but also power customization!! They know we have wanted it and in the current engine it wasn't feasible but in a whole new expansion it could be and I truly believe they want to give it to us! *Kisses* That is why this community and game is so great because they listen and try to give us what we want.
Something I think would be cool and interesting to see in this new Praetorian world is that what ever toon you create or log into for the first time, the game would create a villain counterpart for YOU and it would appear in one of your first mish for you to try to defeat. It would be your own in-game nemesis! Of course, we got Architect for that but it would still be a cool concept! 
I'm totally looking forward to the new expansion. As for bringing back old foes ..what about heroes? I have thought about it for a while and that is why I created an arc to explore the possibility.

A Big Follow Up ....
What will be the new Dynamics of Threat Groups / Super Groups? I can see entire rosters dropping A Super Group to become Evil and vice versa!
I see why base raiding and other stuff needed to be shut down ...this expansion changes everything!

From the Press Release:

Desdemona, a demon-summoning villain who has been redeemed.

Question is - are those two Primes or Praetorians? If the latter - do they have Prime counterparts we know of (which most seem to favor Foreshadow and War Witch)?
If Maelstrom is Foreshadow's counterpart, I could see the "They tried to make me into what they wanted, but I'll show them!" bit - If he has the karma crysis, maybe they tried to bring him back alive as the "good" version
