Six-million sold copies does not give any sort of estimation of the number of actual players in the game. I purchased the game at launch, played it for a week and have not touched it since. Of those six-million purchased, how many are actually playing?

WoW's 11.5 million subscriptions gives readers a better estimate of how many people *could* be playing WoW at any given time. Its not exact - just because someone is paying monthly does not mean they are playing.

What I want to know is, of the however many people are *playing* Guild Wars, how well is the game doing for NCSoft? Are Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 and Aion going to be enough to pull them out of the hole that Tabula Rasa put them in?
