On the topic of expansion packs...
i think that expansion packs should bring new zone(s), creatures, and one new race(a race of raven men that live in floating palaces)
and +1 for endless oceans
I see the expansions playing out something like this (in no particular order):
First Expansion
Elona, Crystal Desert, Jaka Palawa Joko, Kralkatorrik.
Second Expansion
Cantha, Tengu (playable race)
Third Expansion
Maguuma Wasteland, Fire Isles, Mordramoth
Fourth Expansion
Deldrimor Front, Blood Legion Homeland, Dwarves (non-playable), Primordus
Fifth Expansion
Far Shiverpeaks, Kodan (non-playable), Jormag
Sixth Expansion
Endless Ocean, Largos (non-playable), Deep Sea Dragon
First Expansion
The Canthan Chronicles
Playable Race – Tengu
Plot: After a long council it was decided by the races to reunite the humans of Tyria with their Canthan counter parts and the reestablish the Tengu back to Cantha after they were forced out by the emperor.
The players will discover what really happened in Cantha and what forced the emperor to take such drastic measures as to force off all non humans out of Cantha.
The players will then help establish a new leadership on Cantha, liberating her peoples from the tyrannical rule.
Second Expansion
The Elonian Exodus
Playable Race: Centaur
Plot: After the Canthans and Tengu joined forces with the alliance of Tyria, our heroes set forth to new frontiers in Elona, a land desecrated by the dragon Kralkratorik and the Lich Palawa Joko.
There our heroes meet up with a small rebellion of Humans and Centaurs fighting off the undead scourge lead by Palawa Joko, holding to the last bastion of life, after the first menace has been defeated, our heroes seek out Kralkratorik and slay him.
With their victory, they return towards Tyria, where the humans and centaurs of kryta try to reconcile their differences in a peace effort motivated by the Elonians and remember such heroes as Zhed Shadowhoof and Ventari who believed in peace.
Third Expansion
Jormag’s Last Stand
Playable Race: Kodan
Plot: with our heroes on a victory streak, they head out to defeat Jormag joined with the Kodan, they break the Sons of Svanir’s hold on the north.
More Possible Expansions
Isle of Janthir – return of the Mursaat
You guys clearly put some thought int this, but I thought there were not going to be expansions. Did something change?
Why just one new playable class? In guild wars they would release 2 additional classes with each campaign.
Cantha will not happen for gw2.

The funny things is the devs want to do it, but they can’t from NCSoft West

devs said keep asking for it and maybe the bigwigs will change their minds.
