Guild Wars 2

Vayne.8563:

MoP had 1 millon concurrent players at peak and Guild Wars 2 had almost half of that. That’s the comparison.

And that’s not unexpected. WoW is the more popular of the two games. It’s had a longer time to build an audience, it’s had more money to advertise and it was in the right time at the right place.

For Guild Wars 2 to get even close to half of MoP’s concurrency numbers likely makes it the MMO with the second highest concurrency of all time.

For someone who is so strongly advocating comparing apples to apples, you may want to re-read the link you posted. The one million figure for MoP was for China alone.

Also, to answer your earlier question of why the BLTC rare minis sell so easily at 2-3 gold if they aren’t popular, don’t forget that 1) price is not solely a factor of demand, but the combination of both demand and supply curves, and 2) a lot of people (incl me) buy said minis up for the sake of profit alone (off the resulting MFed exotic minis), and yes, that profit again takes us back to point #1.
