So do our characters from Tyria carry over to Cantha? Is Cantha an entirely new country or is it just an island or town in the world of Tyria?

Chapter 2 is a stand alone product.
You dont even need to own Guild Wars, to play chapter 2.
Chapter 2 has its own storyline, classses, quests, gear and so on. People from chapter 2 will be able to interacte with people from chapter 1 in the pvp areas.
A person who has both expansions will also be able to use his own character from chapter 1, in chapter 2, or just create a new one.
It will also be possible to change your secondary class to one of these new ones.
What races there will be in the new expansion is yet not known, and we dont know either how many new character slots there will be.
Cool,so our characters from chapter 1 will go over to chapter 2.

"The armor looks horrible"! Are you mad, it looks great!
I'm glad you posted this info. Everywhere I'd looked, I couldn't find much about Chapter 2. Everything I found was about the PvP which had led me to believe that that was going to be the main theme of this with maybe a few extra missions scattered here and there.
for those who allready got Chap 1, and add Chap 2, WILL get an extra slot (which is atm 4) to expend to 5 (for those who arent good with math
)
I hope I can change my warriors secon. prof into as
, As will def. be my 5th char.. Im too much in love with my ele 
I gather from other forums that those images might not be of the new chapter as some of them were out during the betas of chapter 1. I'd wait until anet has released pictures officially through media or their site to be sure what its like. In fact if you check out the home page there is a gaming magazine (I forget which one) issue just out or coming out with alot of info and I think pictures of the chapter also.
there are some pictures out already

I am assuming that you would still be able to use the three other classes if you were only using factions standalone, right?
