2nd quarter sales numbers are out at NCSOFT.
GW2 – 28,899 million KrW or roughly $25.9 million dollars. Down from 36,382 million KrW or roughly $33.7 million. Still the game with 2nd largest sales in NCSOFT’s portfolio for the quarter.
$25.9 million dollars in sales would be approximately 575,000 $15 a month subscriptions which isn’t bad. Or 2 BILLION (/drevil) gems bought in the quarter. EDIT: Or 520,000 new licenses and zero gems for the quarter.
But that won’t stop the doomsayers so let the cries of DOOOOMMMM!!! begin.

Are there any figures on gem sales at all?
That is, gems bought with cash?
1 millon dollars /drevillittlefingerface myaahahaha…

No, but I doubt a significant portion of those sales are new licenses which leaves gems with cash.
So it sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Lets talk player retention…
Still, it would be nice to get an honest breakdown.
I don’t understand this reluctance to disclose more in-depth figures.
You’re lucky they disclose figures at all. Few game companies provide even a breakdown of sales by game. I don’t know of any that breaks it down into license/cash shop for a B2P game.
As long as that cash isnt’ invested into fixing/improving the game, my position is “i don’t care”.
