As Guild Wars 2 launches today, the world of Tyria is already populated with over 1 million players.
Partial reason for the high pre-release buys are due to the bonus of playing the game before the release date if pre-purchased. The pre-release period has proven effective, as it reached a peak player count of over 400,000.
ArenaNet is no doubt happy with the sales that the highly anticipated MMORPG has reached within it’s launch. This can only fuel their desire to continue work on a console version of the game, which currently has a small team working on it. No announcements have been made regarding this version however.
