Nice nice. Ofcourse they are going for xpacks, but it is nice to know they are (most likely?) already thinking about what's next. Although balancing the current product comes first. (I hope!!)

Or heck, I won't be unhappy with a new world to explore, new plotlines (Aaaahahahahaa haa haaaa *wipes tears from eyes* .. ah haa haahaha..) to dive into.
:rolleyes: Sorry couldn't resist.
