its ultimately about money. Would Gw3 bring be more profitable than Gw2. They wouldn't shut down gw2, though most likely they wouldn't be making new content for it either. Its 6months after the expansion release and it seems PoF is not doing as well as HoT did. And here's the challenge how to bring in more players and keep existing players happy? they released Gw1 in 2005, and Gw2 came out 7 years later. so gw3 is possibly in the works. The release of Gw2 made arena net mega profits. Why wouldn't they try that again?? Personally I hope there is a gw3, that would be kool. However it would be at least 5 years away.
