The funny thing is, if they had made another campaign, then they would have had to delay work on GW 2, so you'd have to wait just as long, but starting a little later.

The thing is, that's a bit like saying the next expansion of WoW is being "delayed" because Blizzard's production and resources are being spent on developing Diablo and Starcraft.

I just don't buy that argument. If a game is as popular as Guild Wars, then it should be worthwhile for a given developer to work on more than one product at a time.

GW2 is, in effect, a new game. But the old game, GW1, still has a lot of life left in it -- or would have, if ArenaNet invested in it. At the very least they should have subcontracted with another developer to work on expansion to GW1 while they focused on GW2. I think there was definitely more money to be made that way.

Interesting perspective Tom, but considering ArenaNet has only one game under their belt and Guild Wars being it's first baby. I highly doubt they be comfortable leasing out another developer to add another expansion to GW1.

Part of me wouldn't mind another expansion, particularly one for Factions and another for Nightfall. Eye of the North was really a sequel to Prophecies.

Also I'm not concerned at all about the release dates, because these things take years to create, including the books. A good novel takes at least 3-5 years to write, lets not rush them.
