Q: With the release of Factions, what will happen to Tyria? Will it get an update on release of Factions, will it still get periodic content updates, or will it be left as is? There is a lot of area left on the map ;)
A: The continent of Tyria has been explored as fully as it will be in the foreseeable future. Yes, there is a lot of area left on the map, but that does give us delightful options for the future. At the current time, our focus looks "across the water and far to the south of Tyria" at Cantha, and that is where the majority of our development time is being spent.
Periodic content updates will apply to the world as a whole. They may take place in Cantha, in Tyria, or in both. In the future, I imagine we may do more localized updates, as well. For instance, fans have suggested that with the many new cultures being revealed, we might have certain holiday celebrations closely tied to one continent, instead of to all lands. We'll have to see how that works out in the future.
