lol ... might explain why the lag has become progressively worse

But 5,8 mil isn't a figure to sneeze at, that's for sure. I might have convinced one of my mates to dump WoW and come back to the fold.

They should hit 6 million by the end of next month if the current growth trend continues.

Yeah please make it clear to all that its a total not how many was sold in that Qtr.

 

[shadowfox]

lol ... I realised when I took a second look - if those were the actual quarterly sales I reckon GW would have been the best selling game of all time

 

[Devill]

lol, well selling 210 000 copies in the last qrt of a game thats close to its end is still not a bad record

Wow, they are doing amazingly well.
I wonder how many are double / triple acounts, etc. Some people even have 8+ accounts...
And Farmers and gold bots, etc.

Well ... sadly it looks like the release date for GW2 has been pushed back quite a bit. The Wiki now says TBA 2010/11

Gives me time to do title-hunting (especially my survivor), but still ...

And thats why they released the statement saying there is no official release date.
