Well, I wasn't trying to compare sales. That's just lame, seeing as sales just depends on the amount of hype before release (a lot of Warcraft fans, that never played an MMORPG got WoW). I can surely say that a lot of those people (out of the 1.5 million) have quit the game now - due to lack of end-game content and it's casual gamer direction (which a lot of people dislike, seeing as they want to invest time into an MMORPG).

FFXI has done pretty well for the amount of time it's been released. My only quirk with it, is that it's limited by the PS2. Kind of dragged it down a bit. So yeah, it's not a perfect game, but I have a lot of friends on there and so I stay (I also like the content and gameplay of it).

BTW. I have played WoW since Open Beta and Retail (left around March), I advanced through it pretty quickly, and all my friends ended up leaving at level 60 saying how much of a waste of time it was (former MMORPG players too). And the whole game got boring, real fast.

From what I've seen and heard about Guild Wars, it just doesn't interest me as an MMORPG, maybe if it were a huge offline RPG I would get it - mainly because the graphics look pretty darn sweet. What lacked in WoW was the gameplay - it wasn't even worth partying or raiding, PvP went to the crapper as well. This game reminds me EXACTLY like WoW when it first started. And that's just an opinion. I'm sure it'll be fun for you all.
