Guild Wars 2 expansion & 'consistent free content updates' teased

Guild Wars 2 will receive a strong of consistent new content absolutely free of charge, ArenaNet's game director Colin Johanson has confirmed. He also made mention of the game's first full expansion.

Johanson discussed the issue of additional Guild Wars 2 content over on the game's official forums.

"No need to buy them," Johanson stated, "Gw2 will feature consistent free content updates and in-game events going forward. Our goal is to make it so you get more from Gw2 for free than you get from a game you pay a subscription for."

Johanson added, "On top of a large amount of free bonus content, we will be expanding on offerings in the Black Lion Trading Company going forward, as well as be doing large-scale expansion content down the road."

"We’ll cover a lot of the details on the kind of support and plans we have in place over the next month or so on the Gw2 blog and with our press partners. We do appreciate that you’d like to buy lots of new content, but we’d prefer to give a lot of it to you for free, cause that’s what we think a responsible MMO company does."
