Expansion / Stand Alone Parameters

This may have already been posted, but can anybody tell me this.... ?

I understand the next game is stand alone, but also an expansion, right ? I would assume you can input your email/pass on the next edition and you'll have all your chars right there..? I would also assume that you can go back to Tyria on those chars w/o having to open up the other version of the game and log in ? Has there been any concrete answer to these questions ? Also, is it clear that if you create an assasin or ritualist you can or can't play in Tyria ?

I really wish I knew what the dileeyo is with all that ?

Has anyone seen a post that answers these specific questions. I don't want to read a bunch of dribble about other aspects of the game. I'm sure those will be great and I'd rather be surprised actually...

But, I'd like to have a vision on some of the more restricting maybes...

As I understand it...

You will be able to add your Factions key to your existing GW account and use your characters in Factions. At this point, Cantha becomes a place you can travel to and from via the map, so there's no opening and closing "versions" of the game.

I haven't heard anything about taking your assassin or ritualist to Tyria, but I seriously can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to.
