I know that the world is getting expanded, but are there any speculations of a straight-up world reset?

World resets "never happen" so don't count on them. By this I mean that the devs are rarely going to reset things without some extenuating circumstances. It can be a major failure in the server, or just a major update.
w2: major engine upgrade (if memory serves... wasn't here for this one) time of life: ??
w3: major game updates TOL: ??
w4: server crash TOL: 2m
w5: major game update due to botting issues TOL: ~6m
w6: server crash TOL: 2y
w7: server issues that could be worked around, but needed reset for new developments TOL: 2y
w8: several major updates TOL 6m
As you can see, things can really differ. I suggest if you guys want to play, just play. Don't hold your breath for a reset as it could be next month, or it could be a year from now.
If it's that "new world" competition for resources you're after, it shows a basic flaw in game concept.
