Is it true?
I was reading chat with Rubi Bayer yesterday while Wintersday Livestream was on air.
She practically told everyone in chat that “this will be the FIRST Wintersday for MOST players”.
What does that mean?
Does that mean that most players joined after December 2012?
Did GW2 sell more copies in 2013 than from release?
Taken from Wikipedia:
By January 2013, over 3 million copies of the game have been sold. By August 2013 the sales have shifted 3.5 million copies.
It does not seem likely GW2 sold more copies in 2013 than in 2012.
Most people who pre-purchased or bought GW2 in 2012 were GW1 active players, friends of GW1 active players, GW1 players who left, friends of GW1 players who left.
Does that mean most people who Pre-purchased are gone?
If so, where are they gone to?
Follow me on this:
Given that 3million purchases were made between Aug2012-Jan2013,
and 500k purchases were made between Jan2013-Aug2013,
and assuming that all players who bought GW2 in 2013 are still active,
it seems that 500k players are experiencing their FIRST Wintersday, and apparently they are a MAJORITY of players in the game.
If the majority is 500k, then the minority is less than 500k.
Then, it means that less than 500k of the 3million players who bought GW2 in 2012 are still active then, since those who bought the game in 2012 are a minority.
That means that more than 2.5 million players left GW2?
After last night’s Livestream, I noticed something, so I just checked my friendlist, my followers list, and my GW1>GW2 guild when we all moved to GW2 list. I even checked my block list.
Why is everyone appearing offline?
