Lots of ups and downs in the gaming world today as Guild Wars 2 tops UK sales but lags behind SWTOR and Tera is merging servers. What could these trends be showing us about the gaming niche in general or what we stand to see or not see from future games? 61404b

Guild sales charts this week but still sold less at retail than Star Wars: The Old Republic did at launch.

This comes out at the same time as the news that the newly released (younger than SWTOR) game Tera is trimming down its servers list:

People are already predicting the shutdown of Tera or a move to free to gamers growing bored with the games being handed to us?

I think it’s definitely safe to see from the games being created today?
