So according to that Interview Reinheart translated, the expansion is 3.0.. so can we guess a time for release then? If 2.2 comes in march and we go by a 3 Month Pattern, would that mean 3.0 will come around March 2016? <_<

That seems a bit off, if i remember back to certain Statements saying 1 to 1.5 years after Release, which sounds more accurate to me. Wait for a Job/new things for around 2 more full years.. that sounds really really bad.

Version numbers don't work that way also SE doesn't know how version numbers work.

2.16 should have been 2.1.6

2.16 > 2.2

[Leandras]

The patches don't need to go all the way to 2.99, they could release 3.0 after 2.6 so you can still expect it in a year and a half.

Edit:
You win this round Pseudopsia

We should be getting info about expansion when they go on the next world tour in Sept/Oct so that's some hint. Was mentioned in previous interviews if I remember correctly.
Wasn't directly saying it but was talking about they have to provide something fresh/new/surprising to keep the events exciting for the world tour, and interviewer was just asking about the expansion there.

There is one rule of software version numbers, and that is: they're not numbers.
They're just marketing text, basically.
*boring version stuff:

Generally it's "nice" if they appear to have some ordering, like 2.0.1 comes before 2.0.2, but it's not required. Example: Windows MS Office: 4.3, 95, 97, 2000, XP, 2003, .... Also, note that "2.19" may not be a number. (If the next version is "2.20", it's not a number. It might appear to be two separate numbers with a period in between. Until someone sticks a letter after it, like "2.20a".) And certainly "2.0.3" and "2.16 hotfix 1" are not numbers.

SE mentioned a 2.3 elsewhere, so I wonder if 3.0 might come around the ARR 1-year mark. Seems reasonable. Also, nice that they clarified that 3.0 still includes PS3, though that PS3 support might not go on forever. (Unlike Windows XP. LOL/jk)

2.16 should have been 2.1.6

2.16 > 2.2

Only if you see it as 16 > 2...
If you see it as decimal values 2.16 < 2.2 as 2.2==2.20

Version numbers don't have decimal values that's was my point. A minor release after 2.9 is 2.10. Not 3.0. A major release can happen at anytime. 3.0 can be after 2.4.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning

When a period is used to separate sequences, it does not represent a decimal point, and the sequences do not have positional significance. An identifier of 2.5, for instance, is not "two and a half" or "half way to version three", it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision.

I'm being a little picky. The 2.2 and 2.16 releases are named that way for the general public. I guess they expect the general public to not understand software versioning.

Actual version number is date based:

Number in brackets is likely build number.

Some interesting nuggets of information in that one.
