This is a Suggestion / Request for an exclusive area in Tryia that would be accessible to owners of both chapters. Maybe someplace previously unexplored... Like a special area in Orr Peninsula or something like that...

I was thinking about this when a bogus map point popped up in the absurd section... http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3008205

But it got me thinking... It would be nice to include an exclusive Tyrian map point with the Factions Campaign. with a special quest that by the end requires activity in both lands So the only way to get this particular Elite Quest would be to have both games...

I am thinking of something along the lines of Titan level quest that would require going to several points both in Cantha and Tyria, and by the end of all the requirements would yield a new map point in Tyria. That way its not an easy thing to do. Maybe something like Shiro sends the afflicted into Tyria to start a second front there. Maybe even them searching areas of ruins of Orr for some item Shiro wants to rebuild his Palace or something like that... IDK. just an idea...

Thoughts on this??? I would be really curious what Galie and the Dev crew would think of this... Brian, Ben... any thoughts? or am I just dreaming at this point?

I think Senator Tom really got our minds running

But yeah, I would really like to see something like this. My idea would be that there is some kind of scientific group located in the Canthan city, interested in excavating old places and searching for new magical and botanical powers. And so they would plan to venture into the half-sunken continent of Orr. However, as the ruins of Orr are still crawling with undead and very dangerous, they need an escort...so, you travel across to a camp just down the coast from Orr, and make your way up, doing missions/quests and escorting the scientists.

Whatever Anet's plans are, I really hope they plan on returning to and expanding and changing Tyria. There are so many things that we do not have the answer to, so many spaces of land to venture into.

My sense of adventure to see more of the map demands something like this!

I like the idea of rewarding those that buy both and link the accounts getting some extra, unknown content. Would probably make up for all the grumbling about only getting 2 extra character slots.

I'll always /sign for any new areas/towns.

I'll have to dig around a bit, but I'm pretty sure, didn't they already say you had to do a quest to be able to jump over to Cantha? Or from Cantha to Tyria...

Something as a reward for buying both sound cool.

Imagine if you will a cave that opens at the top of one of the mountains of Orr, that caravans down like the catacombs or Sorrows Furnace, multi levels, and at the bottom (underwater) the cave opens up into a pyramid that is still air tight. and connected to the cave. In that Pyramid is the remains of Orr and it shows that what is left of its arcane sciences is what is preserving the Pyramids Air tight existence.

Attached is a Very VERY rough IDEA of what I was thinking. I know its very Diablo-ish in levels down and all. but you get the idea...

Also note the Pillar of Orr that is the Start Menu location to the right.
The Power Harmonic of the Pyramid top would be why the whale keeps getting attracted to it. No Idea on a Boss yet. Can't think of anything from the lore off the top of my head. The Broke off connection tunnel that opens to water should avail a wonderful underwater cinematic of the pyramid from behind a energy field or glass shield or something...
