when is the first gw2 expansion coming out?
Use the search function – no expansions are being planned at the moment, they are focusing on the current game

Probably end of this year.

Says NCsoft. ANet had a different response.

We anticipate NCsoft will also launch a mobile version of Blade & Soul in 1H through one of Japan’s leading mobile-gaming platform operators, DeNA. NCsoft plans to roll out its new title WildStar (currently being developed by US-based Carbine Studios) in 2H using CD packages in the US and Europe. It also intends to launch Guild Wars 2 in China, Taiwan, and Japan. An expansion pack for Guild Wars 2 is slated for a 2H release in the US and Europe.

Hope that’s not true.
Anet stated there would be no expansion in 2013, something I was very happy to hear as they need all the time they can get to finish vanilla GW2.
If this is legit, it seems like another forced deadline and definite bad news.
it’s not coming out this year , maybe 2015 ?

A few weeks ago the devs said this. In early February just after that report broke they said this.
Doesn’t seem like they are in agreement with what NCsoft told the analysts during the CC.
And your link doesn’t work.

I have seen no such statement. Source?
It really depends on how they’re going to handle expansions. If they go with the traditional style of increasing the level cap, there won’t be an expansion until at least late 2014. If they go the simple route and release a region like the ring of fire as a new level 80 area and call that an expansion, that can be produced much quicker, however it would sell less (cosmetic vs required).
Ascended gear was scheduled to roll out over the course of a year, so an expansion won’t be happening this year.
An expansion will probably be talked about around this time next year, assuming they don’t start releasing all the areas like they did with Southsun Cove. They might not even do expansions. For example, they could have easily put Southsun Cove in the gem store and called it a mini expansion, if they handled it differently.
Hope that’s not true.

Keep in mind that 2013 in the calendar is not the same as 2013 in the fiscal year. Fiscal year varies by company. My company’s fiscal year ends/starts in February, for e.g.

Ehh, I think it was specifically stated somewhere.
Nevertheless, “not on the horizon” should safely rule out the next nine months.
Weird that the link doesn’t work. Try this.

Why do you lend more credence to this prediction by an independent analyst than to comments from the developers themselves, this month? http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/03/06/guild-wars-2-expansion/ “Not planned” and “coming out 2H of 2013” seem to be largely at odds!
