Selvom World of Warcraft i dag er den altdominerende spiller på mmo-markedet, er der også andre som kan. NCSoft & ArenaNet kan i dag bekræfte, at der nu er solgt over 5 mio. Guild Wars-spil på verdensplan. Det er ganske overraskende tal i en tid, hvor stort set alle andre end førstnævnte spil kæmper for en sund brugerbase og derved overlevelse. Guild Wars 2 er allerede på vej og det skal blive mere end spændende at se hvad AreaNet finder på af forbedringer til den tid.


Tuesday 26th February/… Brighton, UK — NCsoft® Europe and ArenaNet® have announced that the Guild Wars® franchise of online roleplaying games has surpassed five million units sold in Europe, North America, and Asia.



Published by NCsoft and developed by ArenaNet, the Guild Wars franchise consists of the original Guild Wars, Guild Wars Factions™, Guild Wars Nightfall™, and the recently released expansion, Guild Wars: Eye of the North™. The Guild Wars games have been commercial and critical successes since the release of the original campaign in April of 2005. Its award-winning content and innovative subscription-free business model have created a large and loyal following that is highly anticipating Guild Wars® 2.



“Guild Wars is a proven success and has set a new standard for online RPG games with its unique business model and superior playability,” said NCsoft CEO Taek Jin Kim. “ArenaNet is dedicated to creating games that expand the market and provide great new content to our loyal player base. This success has built a great foundation from which the next generation of Guild Wars games will grow.”



With the development of Guild Wars 2 underway, ArenaNet will continue to provide dedicated support to current Guild Wars games and its millions of customers.

  1. Jeg vil godt nok heller ikke kalde GW et MMO, et MMO er et spil hvor du har en stor verden og kan gå lige hvor du vil, for mig er GW et lille RPG som Hellgate london.

  2. Og hvor mange spiller det? 200.000?

    Tænk hvor mange solgte kopier af World of Warcraft der er solgt, når nu de ikke tæller aktive accounts, 40 millioner?

  3. Vil da også give alle ret i at det ikke er et 100% MMO, og det ikke er WoW osv..
    Men det er da flot de har solgt 5 mil. da WoW er så dominerende!
