NCSoft publishes alot of games, however just because NCSoft is launching Aion does not mean ArenaNet gets money for it, it's not their game. however, ArenaNet did help support Aion by selling those in-game wings if you pre-ordered it, NCSoft paid A-Net for their advertising in Guild Wars. KK thanks (>^_^)> t(-.-t) ArenaNet are the makers of Guild Wars, NCSoft is the publisher.

The only reason i think that is because Robert King said he was now just finishing Dragonrise, just after Matt finishes his. Tho it is hard to write a the 2nd part of a book with out knowing the first.

I think I might actually be interested in reading these books, it sounds quite interesting. Let's just hope that they're not released in long gaps, forcing GW2 back into 2011. Although I wouldn't mind that too much. I would rather Anet spend plenty of time making a great game than rush it. It's a shame they had to announce it so early and get everyone excited but nevermind. If they are in financial trouble, then they're going to need to make Guild Wars 2 a brilliant game. I think I might play Aion for a while as it does look great, and if Guild Wars 2 can pull of similar graphics to Aion, with a great Guild Wars story and gameplay, then it will be a success. For me, anyway. Thanks for this post. Excellent post! I think I might actually be interested in reading these books, it sounds quite interesting.

They are also, by far, the biggest splotch of red on the expense side of the sheets other than the core Korean part of the company; more than all the other divisions combined. While GW is still selling boxes, those sales continue to dip. CoX alone has more sales thanks to their subscription numbers, but with a fraction of the employee costs. But that is expected considering the different business models. NCSoft has mentioned several times they are investing more money into their big titles, including GW. Of course, they said that about Tabula Rasa too. With the former ArenaNet top dogs pretty much running NCSoft West, I don't think there is much doubt a lot is being invested in GW2. And a lot is expected in return! According to the last few NCSoft quarterly financial statements, ArenaNet has over 176 people, and is still hiring.

I don't know, or even pretend to understand, subsidiary capital infusions, but I would believe that big daddy NCSoft wants ArenaNet to be largely profitable on their own. That being said, I think that a 2010 release is damn near imminent because the last year ArenaNet has been selling only about 1-1.5 million dollars gross per quarter, which at a 100+ person studio means it is very likely they are operating in the red. Since they don't have a subscription game, and their whole business model is built on selling boxes, I think NCSoft is going to start leaning on them after the Aion launch.

Good find, will have to keep an eye on this for the next year. Guild Wars is one of the few game settings which I might actually pick up a book to read stories within that world.
