On friday NCSoft held its quarterly financial conference call and while answering to the question from an investor the company’s Managing Direcor Nah Seong Chan had something to say about an upcoming expansion for Guild Wars 2.

Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.
I played it a little years ago. It was fun but I had children after I started playing and gave it up so my wife wouldn’t hate me. I got to 50 and then hung it up
Arenanet is doing smthn wrong with marketing, I never once seen an ad for a gw2 expansion and always hear it like this once an expac is already released. Not that I would play it cause I'm a gw1 purist haha
New elite specializations and a fresh adventure on the magical and never-before-seen island of Castora - The sixth expansion launches on October 28!
They said two months ago that they had no plans of making an expansion. I think that there userbase is just starting to shrink, so they had to do something to get people back. I know quite a few of my friends have left the game.
My main issue with the game is that it is so different compared to GW1. They tried to appeal to a broader audience and left the original userbase behind. But if I didn't play the original, I'm sure that I would have enjoyed it.
I just logged off the game out of rage because with the recent buff to WvW arrow carts it has turn into sit in base and turtle. WTF I know are suppose to not stand in red but now everywhere you go arrow carts lay, what is the point of WvW when you stay confined to a keep, sure it helps kill zergs but it also makes taking a camp a chore, so no thank you.
Oh so that's what they're doing instead of improving and fixing what they already have.
Before anyone gets too excited about the expansion, it helps to look back to March when NCsoft also announced that ArenaNet was preparing a Guild Wars 2 expansion - which Anet promptly shot down with an "er no, no we're not, and we've got no plans to either."
So while there's a chance this isn't just a desperate attempt to drum up their stock price and Anet really is preparing an expansion, it's a good idea to wait for the actual developers to make the announcement in case NCsoft is putting the cart before the horse yet again.
