As we suspected earlier, the second expansion for Final Fantasy XI, Chains of Promathia, is being readied for release this Autumn. Apparently, gamers will not be required to have the previous expansion, Rise of the Zilart (included with the US release), though there will be connections between the two that enhance the experience. With at least 40 new areas that fill in current empty parts of the world map and new modes of transport, the expansion looks to be more environmental than gameplay-altering: Square Enix doesn't intend to add any new jobs, skills, or increase the level cap at this time.
i did hear a rumor of square enix releasing an expansion pack allowing players to fight one another. this was supposed to be released before the year is up. could this be it?
The player vs player system is not an expansion pack, but an upgrade to the game that is downloaded while you're playing. Square Enix is working on introducing more of it in phases alongside other additions like Dynamis and Limbo.
