Guild Wars 2 Breaks 3 Million In Sales

Posted on Tuesday, January 15 @ 09:12:05 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


While World of Warcraft still dominates the MMO genre, that hasn't stopped the competition from taking a significant bite out of the market. ArenaNet's Guild Wars 2 has proven to be quite a success since its launch last year, will sales numbers that now surpass three million.

On the game's official site, director Colin Johanson discussed what is next for the MMO, teasing some exciting new stuff that they're planning to roll out over the next several months. Here are just a few things that they are working to improve:
  • Leaderboards on our website where you can compare your abilities with other players to find out who is the best in the world.
  • Expanded and re-designed encounters for bosses in dungeons and the open world.
  • New types of achievements which tie into the new systems of achievement rewards.
  • Continuing to improve the security of the game fighting botters and hackers, as well as improving the games stability by addressing bugs as quickly as possible when they are reported.
  • Identifying existing parts of the game that can be improved and made more fun/exciting, and investing the time to ensure everything we’ve built really shines as we move forward.
  • Improving the new player experience, to make it easier for new players to learn how to play GW2, enter the game world, and more quickly learn the game without being overwhelmed.
  • Improving the “looking for group” tool to make it easier to find other players to play with in the game.
Does Guild Wars 2 still have you hooked? If not, do you think the new changes in 2013 will be enough to pull you back in? Let us know in the comments below.

    I doubt there is anything they could do to pull me back. It just felt it was lacking after a month of playing. It's a solid MMO but It's just missing something.

    I can think of a few things that would pull me back 1. fix the engine. 2. fix kepler video card support. 3. finally upgrade to dx11. The game is fun it just runs like balls for a lot of different setups.

    First char, got to 62 on an Human Ele. Got bored with the combat structure of it and made a Charr Warrior that I played until I hit 80 because I had so much fun. After grinding dungeons for tokens on my War, decided to go back and hit 400 Chef on my Ele (1. for more exp, got me up to 72, and 2. finally checking out the story line to get the ele up to 80 eventually) so I can make myself food for all my characters.

    That was about three weeks ago, haven't been on since because lack of time to play. With school starting back up I don't see myself playing for a bit. I agree with the game running crappy on most high end systems.

    However, my favorite part of GW2 is the fact that I can put it down and pick it right back up where I left off while not having to worry about a subscription fee burning a hole in my pocket. If they can optimize it even more for other players I think everyone should play this.

    I could very well see myself picking this back up, changes or not. I stopped because I started a new job (and was kind of disappointed with Necromancer gameplay. It also did run kind of sh!tty.

    I've heard such great things about this game, but it still feels like WoW still consumes everything. Wouldn't it be incredible if the only game capable of dethroning WoW would be it's own sequel (Project Titan) a decade later?
