Originally posted by Kilmar I think the hype was even after 80 the game wasn't over. How is your crafting, is your map and all acheivements complete, pets dyes, WvWvW, sPVP? There are many, many things to do besides hit max level imho. I have about 160 hours or more in the game and have only completed about 38% of the map. And of that 38% I haven't adventured or done all the achievements in it. My to main crafting disciplines are only at about 200 and gathering is challenging. Little article to read. I'm sure it won't motivate you to press on but it may. ;) Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Originally posted by Lethality Back in 2004, MMOs weren't on anyone's map, unless you played DAoC, UO, or EQ. Which was maybe like 500k people...maybe. WoW put the MMO out to the masses, that's how they got millions to join. You can't compare first weeks numbers from 2004 to todays games. The market is infinitely larger than it used to be...500k vs ~15 million...of course you'll sell more today. "Well, there was a time when I was quick to judge others based on what little I'd heard. But... traveling with even the worst, slimiest, smelliest of tieflings and no-honor tree-worshipping elves has taught me some of them are all right." -Khelgar Ironfist |

Situations, again, are not remotely similar--and comparisons futile.

Grats ANet...awesome game that I really want to succeed so that we can see a bunch of high quality expansions down the road :). Also, I think it's hilarious that there are a bunch of people in here trying to spin 2 million sales negatively somehow. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

inb4 WoW kids compare GW2 western sales to Blizzards global sales releases and pretend Blizzard games have not been advertised and artificially hyped easily ten times more if you could even quantify all the crap Blizzard pulls to promote their title.

The doctors say his chances are 50/50...but there's only a 10% chance of that. |

Originally posted by Gravarg Except, sadly, GW2 didn't sell that many more than 2004. They had MONTHS of additional sales time from pre purchase, as well as a ton of digital orders. WoW had 24 hours and boxes at stores. El Psy Congroo |

Originally posted by Lethality Hey God, *Waves* Btw I made it to level 80, still having a blast however, I don't play as much as I did getting to 80 because I'm working on my alts, I still got to much ish to do on my 80(39% world completion, getting my legendaries, only did 4 of 8 dungeon story modes, haven't done explorable, haven't unlocked all my skills, still gotta get my build going only one trait line going). Orr is fun btw so is the level 70-80 zone I like fighting the claw of jormag. Incentive to do these things are subjective, by the way can you tell me when the world is ending, I want to know before hand so I can pre plan my going away letter that no one will see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |

Originally posted by Eir_S I never said it was a bad thing. Others were saying it's the greatest sales success ever, or at least acting like it, but it's far from it. I plan on getting GW2 on the 25th, and playing that along side WoW and Rift. "Well, there was a time when I was quick to judge others based on what little I'd heard.

ER CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN, BY SAYING UNITS, DO THEY MEAN, BOXES?
Because if that is true, they had 1 mill pre-purchases, and 2 million boxes, as well as from the 20 members of my guild 3 of them prepurchased, and 17 of them ordered digitally, so by pure speculation we can easily say that they have sold (putting random number here) lets say 6 million ? OR 2 millions units, means 2 million total accounts? The tip for |

Congrats to ANET and foolish me for thinking there would be no "how many people are subbed" arguments.

Do not fear death, Death will come a knocking anytime it wants. |

Originally posted by DiSpLiFF Yea but I think its pretty safe to say that Most of those who bought D3 got it because they loved D2 and had to wait 10+ years for a new Diablo and I think its safe to say that the good majority do not play D3 anymore because it was a crappy game. So yes Diablo 3 should have out sold Guild Wars 2. Many more people have been waiting on Diablo 3 then Guild Wars 2. Sooner or Later |

Congrats Arenanet.
I hope they release numbers in a couple of months time as to how many of those 2 million are still around. That will be the big cruncher, It is an MMO after all. Lets hope that people don't leave after the first couple of months like they did in SWTOR, or most themeparks; although, I can't see it not happening really, especially with MoP releasing.
But that doesn't take away from GW2's huge success, congrats.

Congratz ArenaNet. For myself, I don't care if the sales numbers compare to those of blizz. I found a new mmo-home, I have really much fun playing the game and hope that it has a bright future. I love to have a really hard time when trying to do some dynamic events on my own or in a small group. I love that I have to experiment in the crafting window. I love that the legendary weapons are soo hard to get. I love to have the greatest warfare since daoc. I wish there would be a personal progress within the world vs world warfare, like the realm-ranks in daoc. With some gimmicks to earn while progressing. And I wish the game would have an slower levelspeed. 100 hours until max level is too fast, and i know there are people who are much faster than that. MMO's played so far: |

Originally posted by TdogSkal Its funny how people could compare anything with an iconic series like Diablo. Obviously a new Diablo will sell more than any other game on PC. What are they at now? Ten million copies sold?

Originally posted by kadepsyson And don't forget WoW wasn't flooded with hundreds of other mmorpg titles on the market in 2004. Not to mention Blizzard was a world wide success with Diablo and Warcraft. Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |
