Guild Wars Breaks 1 Million mark
Posted by Björn September 22, 2005
NCsoft sends word that ArenaNet's "Guild Wars" has surpassed one
million copies sold since the game launched back on April 28th. Along
with the announcement NCsoft has also announced plans to bring the
popular game to Japan and Taiwan with fully-localized versions.
“We reached this lofty goal in an extremely short period of time,” said
Robert Garriott, president of NCsoft’s North American business. “We
launched the game in late April and throughout the notoriously slow
summer buying season, account activations just continued to grow. Our
business model, which does not require a subscription fee, coupled with
the quality of the game, have struck a chord with gamers everywhere.”
"Earlier this month ArenaNet released their Sorrow’s Furnace Update, a
free expansion of Guild Wars content that offers two new explorable
regions, new quests, new monsters, new items and more. Players already
are applauding the newly released update.
Guild Wars is a competitive online roleplaying game that rewards player
skill more than time played. Players explore a rich fantasy game world,
acquire skills, build personalized characters and compete in
head-to-head guild battles with players from around the world."
