Expansion Info

How would that work for physical owners though?

People using Steam would probably have it the best, they could just buy the expansion through Steam and be done with it. How would I apply a digital expansion to a physical base?

Through the Mog station and a digital download, the same way most other MMOs do.

Blizzard has Battle.net, and Guild Wars has their own website that allows you to purchase and download full digital editions of their games / expansions in WoW's case.

For Ps3/4 the game could easily be offered via digital download on PSN much like the base game already is.

People tend to forget that (especially for MMOs) we're already well beyond the need for physical distribution for a genre that already requires you to have an active internet connection.

For the record my PC client for FFXIV was from the direct digital upgrade they offered to 1.0 players, so the only physical PC copy i own is my 1.0 disc floating around somewhere.
