Sorry, but can you show where it doesn't have more than 500k people playing?
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
well show me one that says otherwise then.
I did. I told you exactly how to find it. Of course you dismiss it while you make wild, baseless claims. You are the one with nothing.

There is one. You can find that same report on numerous gaming news sites.
James T. Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got?
I didn't make the claim. The burden of proof is on him.

Going strong?
1. All pre mades have quit the game
2. the quality is zone blob vs zone blob in WvW
3. so the quality have been lowered everytime a guild leave the game peoples quit too because they like to follow their heroes.
4. tons of pre maded guilds going to Wildstar, Camelot unchained, everquest next= other realm v realm lose peoples
5. the 4th already happening peoples left will be PVE and gw2 is a very easy PVE game so peoples will quit it eventually while in other game such as WoW peoples play pve for many many years 5+....
6. A game that is not even finished and show no future for WvW(realm v realm) do you actually think peoples will stay when Wildstar, Camelot, everquest will have better WvW(realm v realm)? the game is dead in 6 months.
and you can't do a gw2 vs eve online because Eve online is focusing on QUALITY they don't care about numbers for them 30k good players are better than 200k BAD PLAYERS.
they can continue be in business for another 10+ years while a game like gw2 with guilds leaving them servers going empty of WvW etc and they haft to pump things into the pve to continue survive.... fucked up
this is true
And? Where arfe official EA numbers? Where? Post a link to official EA report on SWTOR.
ROFL
you have OFFICIAL NCSoft financila report and you still dribble some nonsense.
You crack me up.
OK. Ill bite, here it is: follow the link in the first post of this thread since it seems you have missed it lol
No, I am pointing out that the game was released into a new market at that time so of course the numbers would be higher and pointing out that the earnings is going to equal what its going to equal places it ahead of the majority of MMORPGs ever released.
So, you need to compare it to WoW to make it look bad.......
The real question is, how are they managing to make as much money as a game with 555k subscribers after all this time?
See, even I can make better arguments against the game than you because you don't know how to form an argument around something with real substance.
Well if they didn't cancel CoH they'd still have all those subscribers giving them money.
I'm starting to have doubts about the longevity of W*.
You have no proof that it is the second largest MMO. The financial report does not specify that. Your claim is baseless, just like I said. You are making stuff up. Thanks for proving my point.
James T. Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got?
The game has had long enough to balance out and those that are here are the loyal fans. Even if new games come out it won't effect the population that dramatically. Guilds aren't that much to be concerned about because the huge guilds that were made pre-release that fell apart did that long ago. On top of that, new guilds are being made all the time.
So yes, the game is still going strong.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Thanks heavens you left the game (did you)
You "leets" are better off somewhere else, i thought you left 1 and a half years ago. Eaither its a never ending soap opera with this mythical "leet" guilds that somehow are in constant leaving, or its just moar drama queens.
WvWvW community is bustling. You are not a big factor. Never were never will be.
Again you are comparing a total that has both box sales and microtransactions included to a total of subscriptions only. This is the same as comparing apples and oranges. You have no idea how much of the revenue was from box sales and how much is from microtransactions. If you wanted to do a proper comparison you would need that data.
James T. Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got?
Oh yes it does specify EXACTLY that. Unless EvE ramped up the numbers its No.2 game in the west. Unless you show soem official numbers to claim differently (on any game you want) it stands unchallenged.
Sorry bro, its just how it is.
Months later... And again same 3-4 people trying too prove that Gw2 has a low population and doing bad... Pathetic. Especially caetftl and stevebombsquad. In every threat about how bad Gw2 and its population bam! they're in it. You can cry as much as you want, that doesn't change Gw2's success and its growing, healthy population. This is just sad. Let it go and find a game that you can like. This is more than pathetic actually. This is something else that I can't even describe...
GW2 isn't going to do as well in china as some of you think... The NCSoft game that is doing amazingly in china is blade and soul with over 1.5million concurrent players at one point.
No, I took the amount of revenue to show how many subscribers it would have come from to give this thing you CANT use and toss out the window, perspective. Which is why you accuse me of not knowing where its coming from, as if you do, which you don't, so you cant argue the other side either!
So yeah, if we leave out any and all perspective, the OP is correct...........then again, no he wouldn't be because its still making a lot of money for a crap game.
Being in 2nd place doesn't mean a whole lot when you're still only 7% of what 1st place is doing. That's why you can't just sit back and say, oh it's in 2nd place so that's pretty great!"
Now I'm not not saying GW2 is bombing (or that NCSoft is). Just that the numbers its posting aren't really anything special. They are very average for an MMO.
You make me like charity
Then it means that EVERY MMO is doing bad and so things are looking fine for GW2 and so the OP is still wrong.
The revenue still adds up to what would be 555k subs which is nothing short of amazing for a game with no sub option.
Maybe if you stopped talking in hyperbole people could take you a bit more seriously?
GW2 had 10-20% decline in revenue every quarter after initial launch died down except 4q13, after that it had 25% decline again... that's not a good thing.
OP, how bad does the hurt have to be to consistently try to spread bad feelings about a game?
I would be very satisfied with a multimillion dollar net income from a project that I could be happy I produced just simply for the quality of game, rather than over charging for some piece of crap game, by taking advantage of all the people that actually think P2P offers better gameplay. I would be happy to have a clear conscience and decent profit, instead of being a rich prick because of preying on the misguided loyalties of the subscription fanbase. That is just my opinion of course, but when it comes down to it, the games that indicate the developers share the same morals as me will be the ones that get my dollar. So if NCsoft made a modest profit because of not stealing monthly subscription fees for the players of GW2, than I applaud their sacrifice, and I will continue to be a proud supporter of their titles in the future.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
You know exactly how WoW is doing in the west?
Please be my guest and post the numbers.
And yeah, being No.2 is quite an achievement when you look what else is left behind.
