Guild Wars 2 First Expansion
Guild Wars 2 has announced it's first expansion at PAX, Heart of Thorns. The expansion is supposed to include a new Mastery System, a new specialization system, a new Profession, Guild Halls, a new Stronghold PvP game mode and a new Borderland WvW.

An example I've heard is Rangers will be able to learn abilities of the Druid, giving them some kind of new healing skill and the use of the staff weapons along with some other abilities. The Mastery system is supposed to be account based, where you get points for completing parts of the story, exploring the map, completing challenges, and taking out super creatures.
