Guild Wars 2 Enters The Record Books As The Quickest-selling Title In Genre History


Guild Wars 2 v2
ArenaNet and DFC Intelligence today announced that Guild Wars 2 ranks as the all-time fastest selling MMORPG in Europe and North America, with territorial sales topping more than 3 million in the first nine months of availability.
Analyst David Cole of DFC Intelligence said:
“After triangulating against multiple data sources, it’s clear that Guild Wars 2 is the fastest-selling Western MMO of all time based on the first nine months of availability. This puts Guild Wars 2 in an impressive position when they release in China, where we’ve seen similar franchises really take off.”
Guild Wars 2 is expected to experience rapid growth once it releases in China, where the player-base has the potential to exceed that of the West. To bring Guild Wars 2 to China, ArenaNet has partnered with KongZhong Corporation, a leading Chinese provider of digital entertainment services.
ArenaNet also announced a free trial for players looking to experience what millions of others are already enjoying. New players can create an account starting today and participate in a free trial from 08:00 BST Friday, 23rd August to 07:59 BST Monday, 26th August.
