Guild Wars 2

Hello.

When the Living Story first was introduced to us we were told that the purpose of it was to deliver an expansion’s worth of content for free, but over time.

We have almost had a year of the Living Story now, and since the beginning people have continued to say that there hasn’t been an expansion’s worth of content or anything similair to that.

What people forget to realize is that expansions typically come out every 2-3 years.
If you honestly expect an expansion’s worth of content in less than a year, then your expectations are extremely unrealistic.

We are now in the second year of the game’s life, and only now are we getting closer to the time where an expansion would be released.

So until the game is 2-3 years old we won’t be able to judge wether or not the Living Story can produce the same content that an expansion would.

And concidering that we get new content every 2 weeks it could be even longer before expansion content, since they have much more to work on this way.

All we can do is watch, give feedback and hope for the best.

Remember, ArenaNet is a company. Companies want money, and no company is foolish enough to think they can ignore the customers’ demands and not suffer, especially when competition is coming.

If they wait for 2 to 3 years before producing meaningful, permanent content that the players want then there probably won’t be a company.

We already know they can produce an expansions worth of content in a year, after all they released over 45 petabytes of content have they not? Now they just need to make that content permanent and relevant to the GW2 universe. More DE’s, more areas to explore, more relevant npcs, expansions to the personal story, truly free armor skins and weapon sets, and DRAGONS.

Thanks though for telling the player base how we feel is irrelevant though. Much appreciated.
