Just as MMO Guild Wars is about to reach its fourth birthday, the franchise has surpassed six million units sold. Hooray! The ArenaNet developed game released the first Guild Wars episode on April 28,2005.

"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 boss 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." ...

Congrats Arenanet!

Considering the low prices that people are finding campaigns at and how many are being bought up for XTH, this is not a surprise.

Aye, I quite agree. I'd rank it somewhere in the early thirties, after, you know... everything BioWare ever made... Relic's stuff... TTLG's stuff... etc.
