News reported over at Gamespy.com that NCSoft's subscription free MMO has sold over 6 million copies world wide. Here is a clip from Gamespy's report:
"We are humbled by how gamers have responded to Guild Wars over the past four years, and we are proud that the game and its community have helped to continually shape, define, and expand the genre," said ArenaNet studio head Mike O'Brien. "Our subscription-free business model has proven to be a big hit with gamers, bringing an enormous and diverse online community to the game."
Guild Wars is one of the most successful PC gaming franchises of all time. Since its release in 2005, it has received numerous awards for its innovative design, world-class art direction and robust content streaming engine. ArenaNet continues to support the game's thriving community with regular in-game events, updates, and community activities.
I'm a former Guild Wars player myself, and I must say, I own all 3 campaign's and the Eye of the North expansion. And although things kinda grew stale towards the end, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Guild Wars.
Any other Guild Wars players out there?

It looks like another premier publisher has joined the ever expanding world of Valve's digital distribution service.
NCSoft, a premier publisher and developer of MMO games, has begun to offer games such as Guild Wars (former Guild Wars player here!), Lineage, and City of Heroes on Valve's digital distribution service known as Steam.
You can also expect to see NCSoft's upcoming MMO, Aion, to be available through Steam when it launhes later this year.
To help welcome the addition of NCSoft and it's wonderful library of MMO's, Steam will be offering deals throughout the coming weeks on various NCSoft titles.
Definitely worth keeping an eye on if you were planning on picking up any of NCSoft's MMO's. Maybe one day I'll reinstall Guild Wars and give'er a run!
