Fastest Selling MMO

[420]

According to an infographic posted my Arenanet, Guild Wars 2 is the fastest selling MMO of all time.

Check it out here: Guild Wars 2: The First Year

Saw the headline a while back, but I didn't see the inforgraphic. Interesting, especially some of the in game demographic breakdowns. I'm not surprised warriors lead in profession breakdowns - they have by far the strongest damage output, but I'm surprised mesmers and engineers are way at the end...

Pretty sure GW2 went gang busters in sales in the first month or two (plus pre-sales were big).  I highly doubt the rest of the 10 months were spectacular.  There was also a period of refunds.

There was also a period of refunds.

For what?

I've only been able to return one video game because I had a good reason: Everquest didn't say that it required a credit card on the box and I didn't have one at the time. Otherwise the store wouldn't take it back.

Because they bullshited people into thinking GW2 was a "different" MMO and didn't require grinding etc etc. 

So when they added massive amounts of grind to the game they refunded people for the false advertising.

Please, even the original Guild Wars had significant amounts of grind. What did they expect? It might not necessarily be a grind to level (okay, in GW2 that may depend on how you play), but there is always going to be some kind of grind...for items, titles, achievements...

I just didn't enjoy the game at all. It was boring. I think I played a total of one hour. Definitely regret the purchase.
