News Guild Wars 2 will avoid expansions

Guild Wars 2 will not have any expansion packs if it gets its content strategy right, according to its lead content designer.

And this is why I was actually able to stop playing ye old Ultima Online (not permanently though, that's impossiburu).

 

That pay once model kept me playing the original and I even purchased a number of extras (and all the expansions). However, I miss the dual classes and heroes of the original - but mostly I miss the instances. Instances made it a game that let you play with as many or as few others as you wanted to.

I'm sure this game has some great things going for it but I just couldn't get into it like I did the first one. Perhaps I'll try it again in a year.
