Many of you will probably have already seen the July Eurogamer interview;
…This thread is less to bring the news, and more to gauge how people would feel if this turned out to be the case.
Zadorojny (the developer, not the Dredge general) has explained that, as they currently have it planned, the Living World may take the role of the Expansion. That is to say, GW2 may never have a full expansion, but the Living World instead.
Living World updates have given us some great bits of content (I loved the MF), but that said, I’m really saddened by the possibility that the LW could replace true expansions. I don’t see how the Living World could give us anything on the same scale as an expansion could— dragons, continents, playable races. It raises the prospect of never having much more land to explore.
Even if the Living World did give us new zones (as it did with Southsun), they would surely be swarmed by players during the first few weeks of availability— rather than the more organic experience of the players spread over many new zones in a true expansion.
How do people feel about this?
