    Default Guildwars 2 looks back on its first year

    Whelp, one year after the launch of Guildwars 2, the sequel to the much acclaimed Guildwars MMORPG the developers speak out about their rampant success. As of the sixteenth of this month Guildwars 2 gained the title of the most purchased MMORPG in its first year in history, even out-selling World of Warcraft in its first year. Twelve months after launch Guildwars 2 is now updating FIVE (5) times more often with significant content than any other online game on the market today, Arena Net having swollen its development team significantly.

    The full article by the developers is here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/g..._source=client

    And a true testiment to a Buy-to-Play game done right.

    it's too bad they got lazy with the bday presents on GW2 >_> everyone got the same thing. at least in GW1 it was random. more fun that way. i recently just started playing again(i played all the beta weekends and pre ordered the day i could) but stopped playing a couple months after launch cause i started playing single player games only. i came back last month and have been playing an hour or two a day. getting dailies is easy and fun. those statistics are funny. my mains are in the lowest played classes and 2nd lowest race

    been playing for that year ... the game is truly amazing i was there for its worst and for its best times and i truly can say out loud the TEAM did an amazing job that started in the gutter and climbed to awesomeness

    Still it is an casual game even though the updates seem nice they are mere 2 to 3 hours contents and i got everything else done including legendary and i could make 2nd one because i got the precur .... yet i am tired of the game.

    tl;tr One year was enough to do everything and to get boored of the game.

    GW2s devs were lucky in that GW1 was a good financial success that it lets them work hard and long on GW2. This produces professionalism and dedication in their team.

    but GW2 also deserves credit because of that hard work. I feel GW2 has a very good future as long as they keep working to improve the game !
