Guild Wars 2

When is Gw2 being released in China

It will be done when it is done

This summer. It’s in June or July.

Would be smart. Release in china + feature patch in the west will mean numbers will grow, despite inc competetition.

Yes, that’s what i thought. As China get their version of the game, we in the West get the new features. A lot of new things. The feature patch will really be like an expansion. Trust me.

“an expansion worth of content” ?

I’ve heard that before …

Yeah, that sounds familiar.

I think that would be 1 of the great opportunities in many ways.
1. Business 1-10 percents in China could equal 40 percents in Germany (I just guess but due to the fact that China’s population is so high,about 100 million up,if i remember correctly)
2. Base fan club will grow a lot (If Arenanet maintain their game properly, the only problem i see so far is zerging/play together which i don’t know if this kind of gameplay will appeal to Chinese players or not because it’s currently dominated by that game or maybe something like Chinese novel game. Most of them relie on solo play and or grinding)
One of the things that can indicate the popularity is fanart. If Charr (in furry community) , Asura and Sylvari (in Deviantart or in other place) appear a lot, that could be nice.
3. Business/Design decision
Who knows. As the Chinese players emerge (make sure that Arenanet can manage that,if Dev or forum mod read my opinion), they might want something that would satisfy them. Something like make anything Asian and we will tell our friends. (Maybe Cantha? <<<<I never play GW1 to be honest :P . Or maybe Asian theme weapons.)

But let just hope that the Devs can manage things properly before approaching to newer business opportunity. After all less bugs seems always the best (I ever saw a graphic bug when someone or me struck by Basilisk venom. After the stun effect ends, it’s like an idiot curse that can’t do anything properly).

The release will be also a good indication when the season 2 of the LS starts, I think. Something like 1 month after the release to give them enough time to level up their characters.
