Guild Wars II sales climb to 3.5 million
But in January, they announced the game was past 3 million sales.
Which means, in the last 8 months the game has sold, what, 500.000 units?
Funny, because I remember someone here claiming that the game was at six million copies sold.

Not sure why you are sad, in subscription MMOs about 25% of their playerbase plays at peak times, which is about a 4 hour period, the other 75% play at different times in the other 20 hours in a day. So if 460,000 was the peak they reached at one time, that would mean the game would have about 1.8 Million people playing it each day.

That’s great numbers for an MMO. Most MMOs don’t even have a player base that high.
I wonder, do they need to reach 5 million to add their first significant pve content or how many millions will it take?
Considering how many haters malign the game, I’m surprised it’s even doing as well as it is. It’s pretty sad to see some many people who don’t like a game do nothing but consistently malign it. It’s like you’re willing the game to fail because you personally don’t like it. It’s okay not to like something, but to be just this source of consistent negativity doesn’t help anyone…including the game.
3.5 million without China is actually a kitten good number for MMO sales.
Edit: SWToR was made by a bigger company, released first and as of August 2013, only had 2.6 million sales. That’s with the Star Wars IP and the Bioware name, as well as the advertising power of EA (and yes that game was promoted heavily).
In fact, can you name another MMORPG that sold 3.5 million copies in a year?
Only time i see the worst of the community come out is on the forums and in spvp. In WvW i think with not being able to talk to the other team helped a lot. I’m all for feedback though. A player who doesn’t like something does have the right to express this dislike on the forums. However, the manner in which he expresses it decides a lot. Try spending time on other places that don’t include LA map chat, spvp, and on the forums. Reddit, open world, pretty much everything else has a lot more enjoyable time. Though not everyone on the forums is bad. There are a lot of good people here, but you know what they say about bad apples.

ooo thanks eisberg and Vayne for the clarification!
hmmm misused sad face there! XD
i guess sad face bcos earlier i tot i saw some guy mentioned only 500k players and i thought 460k, not even 500k.
i.e. that guy was saying 500k active players
460k players at peak probably meant much much more than 500k active players.

There are about a dozen people on these forums that post constantly in every negative and every positive thread, that say nothing at all constructive. They simply support each other in their dislike of the game. And it’s fine to dislike a game.
But if you took those dozen people off these forums, you wouldn’t have significantly less complaints…but you would have significantly less people attacking the game.
You can complain without attacking.
