Could top the orginal's 4 million

But dam only 460,000 concurrent users

*Remembers when WoW had +12 million subscribers, still has 7.7 today*

Concurrent users mean people playing the game at the same point in time. It's not the same as amount of subscribers

Since subsribers are paying monthly, I would think they are concurrent, why would you be paying and not playing?

 

Not every subscriber plays the game at the same time. I know many people despite paying for WoW, hadn't touched it in months.

Seems dumb to me, but I'm not doubting you, tho I don't think its in the millions.

This was the case with dozens of people I knew after Cataclysm came out. They would go a while without logging in, mostly only playing events and when the odd drive got them. It was always weird to me.

Yeah get these on forums alot.  Cata was a medicore expansion, Pandria is vastly better (not WotLK level but still good) but for some reason more people are leaving.

Anyhow, a large majority that bitch on the forums talking about unsubsribing / quitting are STILL subscribed.  My logic can't wrap my head around it.

Guild Wars 2 revenue fell 20% last quarter from NC Soft. Don't belive the hype.

GW2 isn't sustainable in my opinion. If you don't have well defined class roles, your endgame can't really have strategy and it all just becomes a zerg fest. So maybe they update a lot, but that doesn't mean that people will keep being interested for long. It's a wonderful game to begin with, but as you keep playing, you tend to feel bland because you're so similar with the next guy.

Even I bought one, still yet to play lol.

There is no hype. GW2 hype is built on lies.

The game had one revolutionary advancement: Events. Everything else was badly broken and unfunctional. After getting to 80, if you can be bothered to get that far, you will leave the game out of boredom and lack of what to do. Theres also hardly any social interactions in the game. Its an absolutely failure and its been dieing out in terms of population. 

Dont believe the hype and the reviews. This isnt a good MMO. Its the illusion of what could've been a really revolutionary MMO, but wasnt. Heck, its alot worse than the original was. Really, its only the events.

Big numbers, considering it has not launched in the eastern territories yet.
Will see probably another 1-2 million sales when it launches in china, possibly even more. and the concurrent users will shoot up dramatically then.
Good times ahead for ANet and NCSoft
