200,000, though, is pretty good for a MMORPG... they are not as large a market as the stuff Blizz has made in the past and yes, the sales of this game will reflect that. Looking just at sales numbers, I think Arena.net (the Guild Wars people) have a point... while making multiplayer RPGs without monthly fees isn't a sure success, if it is one it has the potential to be larger than a pay-to-play game for sure, sales-wise.
