How does a game with no sub fees that sold over a million copies pre-launch fail?

This game has already succeeded. Only games with subs can "fail".

2 million isn't a lot for a game like this, especially considering so many have already left. For a leech game you need a vast population to cover all the people that will never use the cash shop, doesn't have enough players and didn't sell enough either.

I feel sorry for Anet, they must be sweating about how little money they made and how they are now going to support this game for the next 6 months. They will have to revise a lot of "promises", en expansion every 12 months will become every 6 months (with less content) and the cash shop will offer more pay to win items. They will also have to heavily nerf means to make gil to try push more gem sales, oh they are already doing this.

If I still played this game I would be worried about it's future, business run if they make money. This game didn't sell enough and is sliding down the charts faster and faster, means it's selling less every day.

Not a good idea to buy into this game now really, not a good idea to buy into a failure.

This scares me, I don't want to have the game be a waste of time. I don't want to have to grind 20 hours to get something that can be bought with $10.

I'm not against buying stuff in the cash shop at all, it's just that in my country I cannot make such purchases so it becomes difficult when pay to win is implemented.

Is the above quote really true or am I being paranoid?

This is the one thing that would really put me off of GW2 for good.

It's tough when you find that significant other and life hits you with more responsibilities. Your priorities shift from -

WORK > STUDY > GAMING

to

WORK > STUDY > WIFE/HUSBAND > KIDS > HOUSE > FAMILY/FRIENDS > GAMING.

Always seems like there isn't enough hours in the day. Having a love one in your life who cares about you is something more special then just work and games. You'll learn to balance it and take care of your responsibilities over time, but it was tough at first.

Best first post ever?

I agree with you, as much as I sometimes feel I need a break I must realize that the things I already have are often more important than the other things I want. If I lost my bf to focus on gaming... I'd only want him back a month later.

This is literally wincest.

I'm at that age now where I don't have 1/4th of the free time I used to have as a high school student.

I been working straight out of high school for a few months now cause I didn't know what I want to study. It really cut my free time down, add a boyfriend to the mix and thing get even tougher, I can't remember the last time I slept a good 7+ hours. The last game I played was Diablo 3 and that's purely out of not having time for anything else, I played Diablo 3 for about 2 weeks and since then I been working and seeing my bf all the time.

Now I want to start studying and working less hours at work. But I really want to play new releases like GW2 and even pick up some old ones like Arkham City.

How do you guys do it? How ma I supposed to balance work, play and a relationship?

Alright I managed to get them to work, I needed to go into the new software installed and change it from 2 speaker to 6 speaker.

I can hear them with windows audio wizard when i click on them, but they do not play music.

So a few days ago I bought some Logitech Z506 surround sound speakers. - http://www.chaoscomputers.co.za/products/8541/?name=Logitech+Z506+surround+Sound+Speakers

The surround sound did not work because my motherboard (gigabyte z68 AP-D3) only has 3 sound ports and does not support surround sound. It only has the green, mic and headphones ports.

So i bought a Genius sound card today. http://www.chaoscomputers.co.za/products/1412/?name=Sound+Maker+Value+5.1+PCI

The thing is, it won't play surround sound, I've matched the colors - I plugged the yellow into yellow and black into black but only the speakers plugged into green work.

If I plug the yellow into green those speakers will play sound. So the speakers are not broken. What's the problem here? Why isn't the surround sound working? I have changed my windows settings and installed the sound cards disc that came with it.

What am I missing?

No, I have a Z68 gigabyte AP-D3.

This is what is weird. Unless my pc box so old the ports are inside due to not enough space on the panel. If that makes sense.

I assume this will work? It's cheap.
