lol, as for chapter 2 content, someone mentioned this before, but its not going to be the seer's planet. It's going to be across the southern seas on the continent of Cantha (the home of Jiaju Tai and the Canthan Ferry Captain found in Lion's Arch). Also, personal speculation, but the Xunlai agents might be from Cantha too.
In fact, that may be how they set up an auction house, they could have a faction (guild?) of Xunlai in Cantha that are auctioneers. Or, for plot, there could be a rogue branch of corrupt Xunlai that you have to dispatch or something of the sort.
My bet? It's going to be China/Japan/Korea-esque land. Can you say Panda pet? Hidden god? Great Wall of Cantha screenies? lol.....gotta love the suspense

I assume all that chapters that follow will work like "Expansion Packs". You have to buy Chapter 1, but you can skip around and buy chapters 4, 7, and 2300 for instance

We're committed to duplicating the same-date release for the next installment of Guild Wars as well.

GW is not easily available in Australia. You can't get it at most games shops, only at EB I think. There is a grand total of about 2-3 EBs in the whole of Australia. Everyone I know that has it had to get it from a gray importers on Ebay.
I run a small lan games centre, and I get requests for it all the time, which I pass onto my suppliers. They can't get it. GW would have ALOT more players in Australia with a better distributor. Many are put off by the difficulty in obtaining the game in box form.

You go out much? EB stores r everywhere in Australia. I live in Melbourne and im surrounded by EB stores, any large shopping centre will have an EB store.
I got GW on the first week it was officially released... and i did not preorder it
Oh yea, i guess it would be hard to get it if u lived in the sticks but then again, anyone living in the sticks would have trouble gettin any 'newish' games right?

I'm guessing it'll be like "The Sims". They come out with the original, then they come out with expansion packs that can be added onto the game with new items, faces, skins, etc. At the moment thats all I can think it will be like.

There are only 3 EBs in the whole of "South" Australia. I should have qualified my statement. In the city I live in, we have 10 shops where you can buy latests releases on the day they come out. None can get GW. I can't get GW from 3 different major suppliers to put on my shelf. I'd have to travel 450km to see the nearest EB, the population in this area is around 100,000 people.
All non EB shops which have it have had to go to the trouble of importing it themselves.
Get out much? Are you just a twit?
