Glad to hear it's doing well, though I am disheartened at the different pay-style.
I wanna see what china brings to the PvP arena.
"As you read these words, a release is seven days or less away or has just happened within the last seven days those are now the only two states youll find the world of Tyria."...Guild Wars 2
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

well they did bs about the 460k concurrent user gw2 have. That's why that page is taking down.
I'm waiting for the next sales number. That is probably more accurate than saying something like "it is doing better than expected".
I think it should be positive.
A game making money means the company should care more about keeping making money.
"We were number two to World of Warcraft with Guild Wars, now we want to beat them. We’ll be satisfied when the Guild Wars 2 is the most successful MMO."
So they made it.
So, did ESO have a successful launch? Yes, yes it did.By Ryan Getchell on April 02, 2014.

It's easy to say your game is doing great financially when you handle all the statistics internally and refuse to release them.Sure, but the two markets are quite different. What Chinese MMO gamers tend to like (grind, cash shop) is directly opposed to what I like. Then again, ANet's direction is already more in line with the former than the latter.
Let me guess.....your room mate just quit ?
The guy does have a point though.
Try thinking about other games and how much bash they got when they release player population numbers.
If Anet were to release actual concurrent player numbers, or monthly logon their get bashed too.
Just look at the AP scoring board, you'll notice a huge percent of the players didn't get very far in GW2.
And I'm not bashing GW2 in anyway. The truth is people think a game have 4 million sales would mean they retain a huge percentage of the players. That just aint so.
Wow have 100 million acounts created, they only have 7 million or so players right now. It's expected a huge percentage of the people who bought GW2 quit already. But Anet never need to get bashed like every other games because they never release any data(beside the financial report).
I dont believe or validate any gold farmer numbers coming out of China especially since they already had false numbers coming out last month and just started allowing free time cards or as I call them gold seller ID cards. That being said the games numbers are probably more valid than anything EA has put out on TOR which is a steady stream of endless BS from a game we all know is a dead wasteland of unplayable crap. All GW2 did was betray its player base, but the game itself is playable in a Zergy pointless collect food colors kind of way.
