I have been playing GW1 for about 7 yrs and GW2 since it was released. While I enjoy the living world I feel it is not the best way to gain new players. The gradual drip feed release of new content ‘preaches to the converted’, we all love this game. But does it bring in new players? I would say that it doesn’t necessarily, unless by word of mouth. I really feel that GW2 does need all of the hype and advertisement which goes with an Expansion pack. All of the gaming forums that I talk on have stopped talking about GW2. Anet needs to get them talking again,, the suspense of the Expansion, the advertisement and sneak previews of whats coming will get new players interested. Apologies if this topic has already been discussed to death. GW2 has a very loyal following, but if you want more to play you need that Hype. All the best and keep up the good work.
