Guild Wars 2

I’m still adjusting to the different numbers here compared to other game’s auction houses. Previously, seeing items for sale “ahead of” mine gave me pause. But with linked auction houses, having 5 at the same price may make little difference, if I’m selling to a very high number of purchasers.

Does anyone know how many players may be looking at the trading post, say for North American servers? (I presume the NA BLTC isn’t linked to EU servers). It seems like there’d be a difference between selling to 10,000 potential buyers and 1 million. Of course, not all players will be looking at the trading post, but if anyone has some numbers on either the total number of accounts on North American servers or something that indicates the number of accounts using the trading post, it would give me a sense of scale, at least.

The Trading Post isn’t limited to NA or EU. It spans all the servers on both regions. So if you’re on an EU server, and you post something for sale, I can buy it on my NA server.

Your potential buyers are basically all of the GW2 population.

trading post is world wide

A: All of them.

All the players.

I’m still curious about how big the population is (both total copies sold and stats for currently active, and average concurrent users), but knowing it’s worldwide means it’s on the order of magnitude of hundreds of thousands, or even a million. Thanks!

Afaik there’s 2m+ copies of the game sold. Though of course not nearly that many people playing right now.
