http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild_Wars_Nightfall

I found this page up on Wikipedia but it wasn't connected to GuildWiki. I think this makes a lot of sense on what the new continent will be.

[Wiki] "Some of the speculation is found from references in previous games. For example, in the Crystal Desert of the original Prophecies campaign, there is a mission called Elona Reach, where the players have to assemble the Vision Crystal. They are helped by the spirit of a Hero who was part of an Elonian tribe 200 years ago. It is believed that the Elonian tribe sailed from their far-off nation of Elona, also referenced to as the Kingdom of Elonia. They travelled to the Crystal Desert to achieve "Ascension", so they could commune with the Gods. Although the Elonians failed, the spirit of their greatest champion and their high priests remained behind to aid the players in order to fulfill the Flameseeker Prophecies.

References to Elona appeared again in the second installment of Guild Wars, Factions, in the form of the quest Luxury Goods. In this quest, the player must deliver some mirrors to the homeless people of Kaineng City. The Celestial Ministry Officer, Chitaro, states that

"The Canthan people are crying out for help during this time of crisis, and the Celestial Ministry hears their pleas. We have received a shipment of home furnishings ... mirrors, actually, from far off Elona. We need help distributing these precious items to those in dire need. Will you help the homeless of Cantha?"

As references to Cantha were in the original Prophecies campaign, with the Canthan Targe weapon being given to players who pre-ordered Guild Wars: Prophecies and Canthan Trader NPCs in Lion's Arch showing prospective Guild Leaders the available Guild Halls, many players believe that Elona will be the setting for the next Guild Wars Campaign."

What a sad day it is when pure speculation makes it to Wikipedia and is repeatedly reverted out of the GuildWiki for reasons of not being officially confirmed.

For reference, I believe the earliest mention of any connection of Elona to ch3 is in the GuildWiki

It's not a sad day. It would be if they listed that as fact, but they cleary put "Speculation"

Terra Xin · Jun 04, 2006, 01:16 PM // 13:16

If the title of the thread has the word "speculation", why would you consider any information other than that which comes from GW or Anet to be official??

That luxury goods quest, man i'd hate to be homeless and get one of those crappy mirrors... I dont even think you could say "it's the thought that counts" :P

Elonia... that sounds like a really cool place. But do you think that they seem superior to the other two nations?

The Tamers in Tyria say that they have patrons in Cantha... so that came to be true.

it is outed because of the great number of people who take speculation as promised fact than further mess things up by repeating it and saying it is from wiki giving the next person the impression it is confirmed fact.

your all wrong, nightfall is a story about how the sky is falling, it is set on a farm and the main star is chicken-licken

Vilaptca · Jun 04, 2006, 03:57 PM // 15:57

chicken licken? I always thought it was chicken little...

I wish ArenaNet will do something more within the "mesmer" spectrum.

I mean mesmers are almost solely PvP profession. They can do massive AoE damage in pve to answer to the massive NPC numbers, and do some interrupts; yet I fail to see their true use and great potential.

Those two new professions (if it's true) better not be border line professions--**like ritualist being part ele and monk** and **assassins being borderline warrior, um... maybe not quite**. They better be two "new" professions.

lol

Let's not forget; to gain that new pressure cooker super elite the colonel must visit NPC A, then zone twice to visit NPC B. Then be refered to NPC C who is five zones away who will then refer him to NPC D who is back two zones. Finally NPC D will send the colonel back to NPC A and then be given a 24 hour time window to enter a mission where the new pressure cooker super elite boss mob will randomly appear.

Chapter 4 is being worked on by the Factions team after all /evil grin

This has gone wildly off-topic and there are already other threads on Chapter 3.

Closed.
