Hacking!=editing.

Besides, the author of the wiki page already posted here.

For frag Doll: love how you put the maps together. Heck I never even thought of doing that. Good job this clears up a few questions that even I was wondering on. In agreement on the possible placement of Cantha, not sure exactly where it will fit in in the future.

Guys, lets not forget that chapters 1-3 have had a totally different storyline.. chap. 1-3 storyline ended at nightfall, new storyline = chapter 4

While it may be a new storyline, its still going to be the same world, and with that, references to that world in Ch4.

Gaile already said there are clues in the manuel and in the game.

We have that northern lands thing...so my best guess its the mursaat, as mentioned in the thread, nothing else is more obvious.

So while it will be a new storyline line, there are many references to Utopia in the game, and the manuel. Nothing else makes more sense, why else would Anet and NCsoft get new domain names? The only reasons they ever had is for games in the past, and they REALLY value their fan base, so why make a forum?

My guess is this:
Northern Lands, as in North of Tyria
Mursaat, and many references in this thread
Utopia, as mentioned by San De Alessio... (thats his name right? )

And that rest is total speculation... we don't have anything to go off of besides new professions (arcanist, magician, etc), and I seriously don't think there will be any....maybe Norse Gunners or something? Like the intro to WoW with that cool gun.....

. That would definatly fit into the plot, and dwarfs+ guns= cool....or the end of gw....

The plot, professions, and everything else besides these are speculation.... I mean how much more evidence is there? Even if you looked all around, all we have are those 3 solid facts, which are good. I guess until Anet announces something, we have nothing else to go off of? Anyways, its good enough for me, I'm sure in a couple weeks it will be announced...and I will wet my pants in enjoyment.

I think we have enough, lets all go take a nap...

Sorry to burst your bubble Silly Warrior but it couldn't be aboutn the Mursaat as their homeland is in the Maguuma Jungle west of the Ullen river. This is taken directly from the Guikd Wars lore. I do agree that as far as a northern land that is more than possible as there are numerous hints in-game and even in the Nightfall manual. As far as the inhabitants of the northern lands that is still up in the air for now so even I am in the dark about that. I still keep looking though for any info that I can find. The name of the guy you mention is Saul De-Alessio.

Mega Mouse

On the Mursaat, it would be nice to see them not as enemies but as allies though.

It doesn't suddenly render the Mursaat idea impossible.

Also, some guys noticed some time ago the home-land of the corsairs was also mentioned in the manual.

That might be hard, releasing the titian was supposed to wipe out the mursaat.

Didn't the Mursaat encourage the murdering of innocents on the bloodstones? Even if it keeps the Titans out surely that makes em evil

Wouldn't have thought we'd have em as allies however??

How many other cultures have sacrificed people in the past to keep the wrath of some god or some thing kept away for however long a cycle was? Did that make them "evil"?

But anyway, I think that the Mursaat would be quite awesome allies, and their culture could provide quite the interesting lore. I don't know.... as awesome as the Mursaat are I do have some reservations and don't want to get too hyped for a total letdown

(And to heck with the Junundu, I want to ride on these crazy Mursaat Speedboats in Utopia's version of the desolation [If there is one.... but even a minigame with these things would be sweet])

Obviously builds more powerful than mine.

Yes, a monk who lacks any potent elites by THK is obviously extremely brave.
Im too poor to go out and buy Cap Sigs :P
Don't worry though, i got Word o' Healing on him the day after.

And seriously, that THK run wasnt bad at all. PvE Enemies dont understand what Healing Seed and Vigorous Spirit can do in unison at level 16 Healing Prayers. Especially on an Assassin who hits quickly.

Not necessarily. If they chose not to sacrifice them and the titans were unleashed, not only would the mursaat be killed, but most likely all of the world. Put yourself in that position, it's either a couple of innocent or the whole world.

Couldnt they have just rounded up the Rascals like... the Charr and...
and...
the Charr... and the Stone Summit!

Yeh, i reckon should we have understod the intentions of the Mursaat our view on the Mantle and Mursaat would have been totally different. Possibly an alliance may have emerged, and now it could with "Utopia".

However. The Titans being so powerful may simply be a threat to the Mursaat and thus they sealed them up to be Supreme.

You choose.

Are there any other guildwars._________ domain names registered that people know about, that didn't become chapter names?

tre_peter · Jan 17, 2007, 03:22 PM // 15:22

I'm sorry, I haven't see any concrete evidence as to how it will be called Utopia.

guildwarsutopia.com may be registered, but if it was by NC Soft or Arena Net, why would they allow alot of links to buy gold on it? Something they are against?

I'm assuming then that the Wiki was created in light of this domain. Again, hardly evidence.

I wouldn't be surpised if it's just going to be a new fansite (now with alot of publicity).

Ah, how did you get that info?

The should put up a simple cover page, to get rid of all those links.

The gold selling ad is provided by google. It is in no way connected to NCsoft or ArenaNet.

Neven15 · Jan 17, 2007, 06:10 PM // 18:10

call it Utopia for no good reason !
