The addition of the core game to the expansion avoids a problem commonly seen with WoW and EQ where the player population would split for a time between those who had the expansion content and those who did not. This differs from the model used by many of the original pay-to-play MMO games such as World of Warcraft and EverQuest, which sold expansions separate from the core game.
As a result, new players will not need to purchase GW2 in order to play Heart of Thorns. In an unexpected move ArenaNet included the core game, Guild Wars 2, with the expansion.
The expansion, dubbed Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, sports a cool $49.99 price tag for the Standard Edition, $74.99 for the Deluxe Edition, and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Game Designer, appeared during the E3 PC Gaming Show and announced that pre-orders for the company’s upcoming expansion to it’s free-to-play massively multiplayer online (MMO) game Guild Wars 2 had just started.
