snikerz · Mar 11, 2006, 10:59 AM // 10:59

i think thats kingdom of orr

It could be used for new content in the future, not unheard of. Sorrow's Furnace is an example of a previously unreachable area being added later on.

They've shown they can change the map as well. The old pre-searing map you could scroll around but it got changed a while back to be a single screen, so I suppose in future if need be Anet could change/add to the maps as well.

Thats Orr, and I think it would be an awsome place to lookat, but prob kinda like the desert.

yes, that is the remains of where Orr once was. If you bought GW in a box in real life and not through Paypal you can read in the handy manual/booklet that Orr was west of the desert, and was destroyed in 1 cataclysmic blast.

Owen · Mar 17, 2006, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Their are seveal nice large areas on the map that could be expanded into, all of which were mentioned.

Unfortunately they seem pretty well finished with Phophecies, but you never know.

Knido · Mar 17, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

mabye reopened as a Fow/UW like area? would be more like UW i would imagine since it would be seething with malignant, dead spirits.

Sergio Leone · Mar 17, 2006, 02:19 AM // 02:19

Well they did make SF and junk. I don't know if that was added territory or already existing territory that they made better. As for the other stuff I think it has great potential to become a great new spot for missions or quests.

If I remember correctly, Orr was indeed west of the desert, however, wasnt there something about it being blown up and it sunk into the sea? Therefore it would be west of the peninsula where those desert island looking things are?..I think that was right..

jet_striker · Mar 17, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Its pre-searing... its been blow all the way accross the map bc of those blasted chars......

(maybe....) (maybe not.....lol)

ori · Mar 17, 2006, 10:04 PM // 22:04

There are a lot of places that they could make updates for (like they did with SF) but with Factions coming out they probably wont do such things to the original map

(just my opinion i dont know for sure)

tommarrow · Mar 17, 2006, 10:16 PM // 22:16

There are some towns where you can see a portal on the map but are unable to reach it.

Riceboi · Mar 17, 2006, 10:56 PM // 22:56

That area west of the desert is where all the Anet employees have secret meetings.

awesome sauce · Mar 17, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

the manuscript does say orr sank, so that cant be it.

The portals in some towns are from back when they used to have the random arenas all seperated, so you could pick which one you wanted to go to (which was a much better setup). For some reason they never removed them.

Warcheif_Jonval · Mar 18, 2006, 03:07 AM // 03:07

The manuscript may say that Orr sank, but as many stories from antiquity in real life, sinking islands usualy mean really nasty volcanos. Volcanos with the temperment of Atomic Anne...

Also, when I read the discriptions of The Cataclysim from ingame npcs, it sounds more and more like a massive blast than a simple case of land sinking beneath the waves.

On the subject of the penninsula in game, It would probobly be used regardless of Factions. from what im hearing, Factions is going to be less story based than profecies, more on Co-op and the story will change as the power between alligences shift.

Or, i could just be dreaming about more undead smashing. I most certainly do like killing undead

From http://www.guildwars.com/theworld/re...slandchain.php

Quote:

Just south of the Tarnished Coast lies the volcanic islands that together make up the Ring of Fire. The large volcano at the center of the ring is where the gods reportedly dropped the Bloodstones before leaving Tyria for good.

I dont think the islands were formed in the blast

Eldin · Mar 19, 2006, 03:38 AM // 03:38

1) The Ring of Fire has been there for ages. Orr was destroyed in the Cataclysm around the time the searing occured. The Gods dropped the bloodstones into the volcano of the Ring Of Fire long before the searing, like during King Doric's reign.

2) Orr was blasted into the sea, but note the peninsula there is a tad scorched and barren. Perhaps the blast had also destroyed the nearby landscape, or that is a portion of Orr that was not blasted into the sea?

As quoted by some Canthan in Lion's Arch...

Quote:

Cantha lies south, across the ocean...past the ruins of Orr, past the islands of fire1, past the crystal lands of burning sun2, and beyond the clashing seas. Only the greatest sailors dare such a journey, I assure you.

1 - Ring Of Fire
2 - Crystal Desert

Thusly, if Cantha is down there past the currently southernmost areas, then the ruins of Orr are most likely near, or some of it even on, that scorched peninsula.
