Guild Wars 2 Expansions On Hold, Says ArenaNet

In the event you were looking forward to new Guild Wars II expansions, you might are compelled to wait a while. Based on a recent interview, ArenaNet has no present plans for developing expansion packs for its MMO.

The original Guild Wars featured 3 standalone expansions: Guild Wars Factions, Guild Wars Nightfall, & Guild Wars Eye of the North. According to Guild Wars  2 gold game director Colin Johanson though, there are at the moment none for Guild Wars II which are presently in development.

Nonetheless, "Expansions are unquestionably something that we'll potentially look at in the future," Johanson stated. "We don't have a timetable on it. We are open to it, yet I think our significant focus as a studio is making the living world notion as powerful as we potentially can for the players that we've got."

He also commented that ArenaNet is right now focusing on growing Guild Wars II, so a 3rd entry is even less likely at this point in time. "We have to have the ability to have teams that are practically improving new, innovative features that alter the way that you play our Guild Wars 2 item game and grow that experience so it completely feels like you don't leave Guild Wars two; Guild Wars 2 turns out to be Guild Wars two.5 or Guild Wars 3 and it continues to grow," Johanson added.

Guild Wars II has sold over 3 million copies, though without a monthly subscription fee, it's unclear how ArenaNet plans to fund these new features. The original Guild Wars was envisioned as a series of optional expansion packs that players could pay for, however it looks like that is not going to be the plan this time around.

Microtransactions or premium memberships could be one method to go, nevertheless seeing as how the studio has attempted to keep clear of these in the past, those possibilities seem just as unlikely. In either case, Guild Wars 2 was a enormous success in a crowded MMO marketplace, so we could be pretty confident that ArenaNet has several sort of method figured out.
