Aside from the upcoming Eye
of the North Expansion, the Guild
Wars MMORPG's residents definitely have something else to celebrate
over. Game publisher NCSoft has just sent out a press wire announcing
that Guild Wars has broken four million
in sold copies since its release two years ago (2005). NCSoft North America's
CEO Robert Garriott is reportedly happy about
the news, and had this to say:
ArenaNet’s fantastic
work on Guild Wars has helped make
NCSoft the leading online gaming publisher in the world. Guild Wars players continue to join in droves
and stay loyal to the franchise thanks to a business model that makes for a very
accessible product. We are all excited about the future of Guild Wars with the expansion ready to be
released and Guild Wars 2 on the
horizon.
Keep in touch in case we pick up more good news and updates, even as
Eye of the North gets scheduled for its release this August 31. For the moment,
make sure to brush
up on your game knowledge - there's plenty of surprises that await when the
expansion makes landfall.
