‘Guild Wars’ Tops Five Million

Formed by ex-Blizzard staff with considerable input into the development of ‘World of Warcraft’, it was only a matter of time before the series was to reach the five million mark.

One of the AreaNet co-founders, Mike O’Brien, said "reaching the five million mark is extremely gratifying for us at ArenaNet because it shows the hard work and dedication we put into our games has resonated with the fans."

The main attraction to ‘Guild Wars’ is that it’s subscription-free and more focused on guilds battling guilds in server-wide PvP tournaments.

"We are committed to supporting all of our Guild Wars players, and at the same time, we're extremely excited to work on the game's evolution. Certainly the future of Guild Wars is as bright as its past and present."
