GW: 1 million copies sold, special edition announced
NCsoft Europe informs everyone that their online action roleplaying game Guild Wars has hit the 1 million mark of sold copies (combined sales of Europe and North America).
That's a reason to celebrate and therefore NCSoft will bring out a Special Edition of the game, next to the normal version and the Collector's Edition.
With the game being overshadowed by the mastodont called WoW (like every PC game nowadays) it's a nice achievement for the boys and girls at developer ArenaNet (ex-Blizzard folks). Guild Wars doesn't feature a monthly fee and is in many ways more comparable to Diablo (II) than with mmog's, still, that fact didn't withhold ArenaNet from releasing lots of new content after the release.
