Well, to get to Cantha from Tyria, you need to get the quest from Mhenlo. To get from Cantha to Tyria, you get the quest from Guardsman Chienpo.

Who or where do you think will take you to Elona, or even make up a quest about it.

I don't know who will take us to Elona, but I can venture a guess as to who might take us from Elona to Cantha. You remember the video? With the Emperor, or whoever he was in it? I reckon that he's actually like, the emperor's hand/voice/etc. or some other advisor or something who will take us to Cantha.

in nightfall theres gunna be three nations in it, kinda like the kurzicks and luxons. they might have the tyrian players start one nation, the canthan players start on another and all nightfall players to start on the third. probaly wont turn out this way its only a prediction

I think we will see the Zanshin in Anmon oasis and Lions Arch seeking others to help stop the Darkness that has spread to Elona from that region.

In Cantha I believe we will also see the Zanshin in KC calling upon mercenary volunteers since the Emperor is rather depleted with troops because of Shiro.

Right now we know the Zanshin are fighting the Darkness and the Chaos Rifts in the far off Crystal Desert why would they not move to Elona where the Darkness is spreading. Remember the Zanshin are Canthan in ethnicity and seeing the Emperor there should not surprise us.

Tyrians will probably meet with Turai Ossa (ghostly hero) in the Crystal Desert, and maybe take a portal or underground passageway to get to Turai's homeland (Elona). Canthans will...take a ship?

It would be cool of Tyrians and Canthans had separate methods of getting there. I think the idea of going on another adventure with Turai Ossa would be great.

id like it if passage was only attainable in the c.desert- but then theyd have to add/move the boat icon...

No you don't have too the initial quest could just teleport you to Elona. Then its a matter of taking a boat back to Lions Arch.

You guys are giving answers in the sense that anet will mix it up.

Please...don't kid yourselves.

Heres what anet will do


Lions Arch, Mhelno, a ship.

A quest will take us to Elona from Lions Arch, same way as Factions. Why?

Because Anet will probably never change this, why...too much work.
Plus its easier on Tyrian Chars to just go to Lions instead of traveling all the way to desert. Although it makes for a cooler feel, Guild Wars is all about being fast about stuff.

I think that the emperor will be there for factions transport and....uh...no clue for prophecies transport.

As for where the boat is, i really, really, REALLY, hope there is no boat. Instead they link the maps somehow so it is all one big map where you can see all three continents at the farthest zoom. Then you zoom into one of the continents and it is the farthest zoom we have right now. Or at least something similar? I really hate having to zone from proph to kainenge, and then to where I want to go to in factions, or from factions to LA, and then to where I want to go to in prophecies. Accually, I mostly hate having to use the boat...

One big map FTW!

My guess is that both Guardsman Chienpo and Firstwatch Sergio will have a quest to go and meet someone outside. Whoever that is will probably be the same in both Canthan and Tyria so they dont need to intertwine 3 storylines (Elonan's coming from the starter island over there, Tyrians and Canthans).

Who will meet us is a guess by me, I sure hope it's NOT Menhlo, unless he changes his hairdo. I've seen more than enough of his shiny baldness in cutscenes.

I agree, for Tyrians, the transport will probaly be in the desert.

My guess is you get a quest in the desert and the quest takes you back to Lions arch for Prophecies characters. For Canthans....maybe something about the emporer then to the boat.

I'd say the dock in kaineng centre sends you to elonas probably "darkness in elona" aswell as this first watch sergio will probably give tyrian characters the quest or maby even elona is connected to both chapters through the battle ilse's.

For Tyria: Firstwatch Sergio tells you to go see Turai Ossa who then takes you to Elona (instant teleport across the desert).

For Cantha: the Emperor's Hand gives you the quest and you go to the Pier right outside Kaineng and talk to the ship captain. Also instant teleport to Elona.

I rather say Sergio will tell us a Ghostly hero came and looked for us to call in arms (Found in the swamp... just an idea)

And for Chienpo..... hard to say...... Helping some citizen to start to evacuate the city under the plague of Shiro (protect against a small group of afflicted) to the harbor


just my imagination thought.

I'm betting travel will be from LA or Kaineng via quest and then using the ship map travel system after that.
I wonder what possesed the devs to come up with the ship travel idea to begin with though, it's very tedious to have to jump to LA or Kaineng when you want to go somewhere else and it must cause extra load on the servers by making everyone do two jumps via two of the busiest towns in the game just to get to your destination.
I would rather have a tab for each continent and for the PVP island at the top of my map so that I can jump directly to anywhere I want.

I feel the same as well, it will most likely be the following;

Lion Arc - Kaineng City - (Insert Nightfall coastal town)

since we know Anet well for their lazyness *coughs* i mean why fix something that isnt broken of course
