Guild Wars 2 pre-orders hit one million according to an announcement from ArenNet, and over the early launch weekend, concurrent player numbers hit more over 400,000. “This is the culmination of a five-year journey and to be greeted by this level of enthusiasm by our fans is truly amazing,” said Mike O’Brien, president and co-founder of ArenaNet. “But really our work is just beginning. Now our focus is shifting to building on this living world we’ve delivered, continuously refining our game and improving services to ensure our players have the best possible experience”. Guild Wars 2 officially launches today for everyone who did not pre-order or pre-purchase.

ArenaNet has posted a look on its blog tiled Inside the Collector’s Edition – Making of the GW2 Book as well the making of the Rytlock Figurine, both of which are included in the collector’s edition of the game. If you click the images on each page, you can read more details on each offering such as the creation of the Mesmer class, as well as an up close and personal look at the Rytlock Figurine – which is bad ass. The pre-purchase program for the MMO is now live, and while there’s still no exact release date, it’s out sometime this year.
