I have my doubts that we are going to see more GW:Beyond content. After trying out GW2 MMO, I realized how complex the game is and how much it needs a big Live team just to maintain it.

One interesting thing is, the fact that GW2 relies more on Dynamic Events than primary quests (i.e. personal storyline in GW2 terminology), the tieup between GW1 lore and GW2 is very loose. You can play and level up in GW2 without going through your personal storyline and just rely on dynamic events and hearts.

What all these means is, a lesser need for more Beyond content to tie up loose ends from the perspective of GW2. Disclaimer: I have not played through the end of GW2 storyline to be sure though.

Without a story (even a weak one) there is only pvp. Even real life war heroes and mass murders that they brought down have a story.

In any game the story can be as relevant as the developers want it to be, even if it's a card game, a benani or a a Tetris clone.

But in MMORPGs have that "RPG" part, and if there's something important in RPGs, that's the story and the development of the characters as characters, not as a collection of numbers going up.
