Lots of places. Watch the Discovery Channel some time.

They had to dangle from a rope to reach the ground and were the first people to document the unique animals living there. The scientists then found a large crevice/cave that they were able to explore that had previously been unknown.

Wow, I wonder if that's a real object in the game, or an easter egg for us (Seissor) to find on the map!

Looks like its time for us to pull out our harpoons and set sail because its time to mount Nessy's head in our hall of monuments.

The thing I wonder about is if there will be any new explorable areas in Cantha or Elona, since the official wiki does say that the setting for EOTN will be spread through the continents (yes, it is plural) which have already been introduced in the previous campaigns (again, plural). We've only seen the new map for Tyria so far... will there be new maps for them as well?

Seissor · Jul 16, 2007, 06:38 AM // 06:38

hmm maybe. but then again these caverns/dungeons are under all 3 campaign areas, so they might just be, hey im in dungeon #5 gorgaks lair, techinically we're under Elona. But it would be neat to have the other 2 campaigns maps fleshed out...or maybe...thats addon 2 and 3 ;-)

also if u notice there are dozens of portals that connect to nothing so this map is 100% complete

EDIT: the green area in the north eastern part of the shivers is the Charr Homeland. South of Magumma Jungle is asura homeland. North Northern Shivers is Norn while that lil spot of no-mans land is the nature fanatics' homeland

EDIT 2: the lil cover up south of Fort Ranik is a quick job because u can see paths going into the fogged up area

Seissor · Jul 16, 2007, 08:30 AM // 08:30

When it comes to those portals that lead nowhere, I thought those might lead to dungeons... omg lets go count them, if we can count 18-ish I might be right

OMG I COUNTED 18

Woot im with u here

WOW! GREEN BITS!

As much as I liked Elona, even the sand, it gets samey....it'll be nice to see some green bits.

What's with that blackish island to the north....surely that can't have nothing to do with the story - it's WAY too sinister looking.

I wouldn't say that as there is a portal with closed gate in the Barbourouse Shore of Elona.It could be for future expansion there as well and why would they add that black Island in there.

The Sylvari are in GW2, not GW:EN. If I remember correctly, the events of GW:EN lead to the birth of the Sylvari.

Double posting is over-rated.

The irony is that by definition, if it's on Discovery Channel, it's no longer "unexplored".

All we know for fact is that we will witness the birth of the Sylvari race.

Granted, you caught the mistakes in my paraphrasing by recollection but, in relation to your original intentions, I highly doubt the race will grow so quickly to have civilizations pre-established in the GW:EN map and young heroes joining your party for battle. It takes hundreds of years for a culture to develop.

It's confirmed that it'll be the final mission in GW:EN entitled Maternity Ward.

LoL! Kinda reminds me of Groundskeeper Willy:

"Who's going to save the wee turtles?"
...
"Argh! Save me from the wee turtles!"
