WoW still reigns supreme, but 6Mio is still an impressing number for an mmo.

aside from cities,
where are all the players at?
O-Oh yeah, instanced

Frankly I prefer not having other players around to bother me outside of cities/outposts. But if you really think that's a problem, wait for GW2, which isn't instanced and *still* free.

Guild Wars has gone very crazy with the optional microtransactions too, which must make them a boatload of cash from the hardcore.

I'd like to clarify that the celebration's for the game's 4th birthday, not because of 6 million units sold like the article makes it seem.

Sora is right Richard. You misworded it, the number of units sold has nothing to do with this update. The update itself is actually called the "fourth anniversery update" because April 28 marks 4 years since the orginal Guild Wars was released.

Might want to clarify that.

To be completely fair though, how many games/ "expansions" does Guild Wars have? 4 total i believe?

So while the franchise sold 6 million copies chances are a fair amount of that are people who bought the original and the 3 expansions. Even still 6 million sold totally is an impressive number.

Yeah, 4 now. I have the first 3, not EOTN. I got them on clearance at Sams club a few years back for like 40 bucks total, which is quite the nice price for the first 3. Great game. I hope GW 2 comes out soon and Ihope it is just as good, if not even better.

Only one is an expansion, the 4th. You can buy any of the first 3 and play

Yeah, six million isn't terribly high when you consider that there are essentially 3 GW games.

Good thing about Guild Wars is that you can always go back to it weeks, months, even years later and you can (mostly) jump right back in.

Oh, and no monthly charges, that too.

I love how the game looks, especially considering the low system requirements.

It also lets you redesign your characters face, hair, height, etc.
It is a little expansion but it's great we can finally do this, and even games like WoW charge to do the same thing.

The game has been getting new content each month. This is the most significant, although it still doesn't add in any new areas. The weekly challenge missions, and trader who pops up in different locations with fancy new items has definitely brought me back though.

This makes me wish sometimes that I could find the time to play this game: I used to be addicted to it like crazy during high school.
