Guys the bandwidth solution is so easy to get around. All you need to do is use Bittorrent. That way you could make a page with a link to whatever bittorent client you want them to use like Azureus. Then for step two put a link up to the .torrent file which is very small and wont use hardly any bandwidth. If you have some of the hardcore members seed the file(about 10 of them) then the bandwith issue will be spead evenly and you won't have to pay for bandwidth. I think the idea of doing an unofficial expansion pack is great and would bring notoriety to the board and maybe force EA to pay more attention to what you want. I own a record label here in Detroit so i know the issues with doing it on cd and if you charged for it you would be taken to court and sued to death by EA. Also if you put it on cd you will have a manufacturing cost and that will make you all lose money. I think doing it my way is fool proof because it violates no laws and costs nothing exept the time it takes to make the executable file. If you decide to do it i'm pretty sure i can get the music distributor i work for to kick in new music for the expansion pack for nothing because it would be free promotion for us all.
