Default So what is Ascalon like, now?

In the course of Prophecies, from pre-searing until the ring of fire islands, there is a progression of time. When we travel back to old Ascalon, we are actually traveling back in time as well, though our characters may still have all their levels and skills.

Anyway, is there any place in the game where we can see what old Ascalon is like *after* the ring of fire islands and GWEN? I know there is mention of it by several characters, but it seems like there would be some changes since we left...

Is this something that will be addressed in GW2?

Well thank you Captain MacMillan

It would be nice if they added Ebonhawke to GW1 in an expansion, just so we could have an area of "Present" day Ascalon nearly, what? 10 years after the searing? Make it a quest that is only accessable after beating GW:EN. I personally wouldn't mind seeing some grass growing in that area.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone who recognizes this to reply. Apparently, not long.

One of the Titian quests indirectly addresses that, though nothing is physically changed.

All I can say is I hate ANet for waiting until the next game, at least, to clear up the fate of ascalon.

IMO after GWEN, our heroes should have killed all the char and returned to take the throne of Ascalon and producing a plethora of heirs due to a large harem.

Ebonhawk....that remind me Darth Revan´s ship in Kotor. And Post Searing Ascalon reminds me Korriban. Maybe Ante will introduce several references of this game into GW2?

Gwens "Then and Now, Here and There" quest takes you back to Ascalon and is set 8 years after the Searing. Nothing physically changes however the Charr have progressed hence foreshadowing Ascalons final fate.

This sounds intriguing and would go well with the Hall of Monuments stuff.
