I cant comment on what I think the next expansion will be, If I had to guess Id bet something space based. That being said, I do know what Id like to see.
Next Exapnsalone (Like CoV)
CITY OF LEGENDS!
A city where the walls between reality have shattered completely, similar to the old Rifts RPG. It would be a cross genre game where each zone was a different reality with its own villain groups and story arcs. This concept has already been touched upon in various story arcs (Portal missions in particular) and of course Croatoa already is using this premise in CoH
Types of Zones Could Include:
Prehistoric Zone Barbaric Cave Men, Dinosaurs, A Race of Intellegent and Evil Reptile men that existed before humans.
Sword and Sorcery Zone typical fantasy zone with Castles, Dragons, Knights and the like. Think of this zone as City of Warcraft (Or would that be World of Heroes?)
Gothic Horror Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies. A zone set in the late 1800s world of H.P. Lovecraft. Could be populated with versions of existing villain groups such as Banished Pantheon and Circle of Thorns.
Futuristic Sci-Fi Aliens, Lasers, Mega City, Flying Cars the whole nine yards.
Post Apocalyptic Wasteland Radioactive Mutants, Giant Insects, A total desert wasteland.
Others could include Asian Ledgend, Egyptian, Praetorian Paragon City, Old West, Mythological Worlds (See City of Gods Below) the possibilities are endless.
Best of all a lot of current ATs and Powersets could crossover and still be consistent with the spirit of the game.
Next Expansion (Both CoH and CoV)
CITY OF GODS!
Level 50s can ascend to a higher plane (keeping all there existing powers) and begin the journey to a new level cap of say 75 and godhood. They would earn new God Like powersets, and battle gods and demons from various mythological pantheons (Zones could be Asgard, Olympus, Etc.) and other extra-dimensional threats. They can descend back down to Paragon or Rouge but they would lose their godly powers.
