What I don't understand is that guildwars charges 50 dollars for their game and there are no subscription fees, and they seem to be doing pretty damn well. Classic is 30 dollars, so thats 20 dollars less; but then again their playerbase vs GO is obviously different. But then they did release an expansion pack but still keep it free to play online.

Maybe it was poor management of funds coming in, and investing it into the future of the company.

Basically there needs to be a business plan created by GO so they can survive without hurting their current player base. Which includes hiring paid server managers and developing their own content / servers so they don't have to rely on customers to do so. It wasn't what GO was built upon but if they want to be successful they have to stop relying on the players content.
