Guild Wars surpasses 6.5 million sales, sequel will be released 'when it's done'

As Guild Wars 2 preps for its US hands-on debut at PAX this weekend, we followed up with NCsoft about the current state of the series. The publisher informed us that the original Guild Wars has now sold over 6.5 million units. Roughly half of those copies found homes in Europe, with Germany making up the largest fan base, which is why the publisher debuted hands-on gameplay for the sequel at this year's Gamescom.

As for Guild Wars 2's speculated release window, NCsoft is taking the Blizzard approach to the game's launch status and saying "when it's done." A representative for the company told us an MMO -- even one like Guild Wars 2 that is going down a different path -- can't be released nowadays until it's finished. It's a lesson NCsoft learned harshly through Tabula Rasa. Hopefully the eventual launch of Guild Wars 2 will wipe the slate clean of that painful memory.

...but this game looks pretty damn fun. I mean, it looks like what WoW should've been.

Lemme set things straight: I highly disliked the first Guild Wars. Mainly because the PvE content felt gimped to me; as if the game only cared about PvP content (I LOATHE PvP in RPGs, MMO or not; to me, an RPG is about just that: role-playing. Going off on an epic adventure and exploring and questing and experiencing an interesting narrative and other shit like that; not just "HEY GUYS LET'S BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA EACHOTHER"). Well, Guild Wars 2--with its persistent world, racial variety, and (Supposedly) an actual crafting system--looks like it's going to remedy that problem.

The best thing about it is that despite all of the changes it's going to be free-to-play like the original, meaning it won't really be competing for my wallet with other big-name MMOs (Right now my "subscription fee choice trinity" is DCUO, SW:TOR, and FFXIV; still can't decide, but it's probably not going to be FFXIV, given my experience with the original game).

The best thing about it is playable Charr.
You are retarded.
