Our guild, of roughly 5 active players (all real life friends), were discussing in TS the various features of the upcoming expansion. Specifically, guild halls. One of my friends was of the mind that “You won’t need the expansion to access the guild hall once it’s released. ArenaNet will make it available to those who don’t have the expansion”. While, one of my other friends replied “Uh, no, I don’t think that’s how the expansion will work. You’ll need to buy it to have access to the guild hall feature”.
It seemed self-evident to a couple of us in TS that the expansion would be required to access any of the upcoming features. Would someone be able to offer an official comment on this?
Cheers.
