	Guild Wars Prophecies: The Deceitful Marketing Of ArenaNet
		ArenaNet was very careful to never call their game a MMORPG or an MMO, and clearly made the distinction that their game was really a new type of game that they would like to call a CRPG.
		ArenaNet likes to make many promises to their consumers, but always plans ahead to cover their tracks if those promises cannot be fulfilled.
		That being said, I hope that ArenaNet is relishing in the fact that their former employer has sold over 7 million copies of World Of Warcraft at +$15 US/month without having to resort to underhanded marketing.
