Seems like an awesome idea, makes it easier to trade across campaigns.

...but not with the title restriction, that would exclude so many people and make this area another bitching point on the forums, especially if rank was a requirement (therefore making PvP a requirement to get to a PvE area!!!).

If you want people to only enter if they have played a bit, then by all mean use the titles, but no need for a MAX title, just so long as they have one ticked off (Cathan Explorer, Friend of Luxons/Kurzicks, Sunspear Commander, etc). That way some effort is required still, but it will not restrict the average player from joining the fun.

And remember the empty space there is between the great temple and the Zaishen challenge.

The door in the Great Temple is even closed...

There could be anything there.

I'm not sure about the idea of a common PvE area accessible to all campaigns, but this point makes sense. Which makes me wonder whether it shouldn't be possible to put an access point in your Guild Hall. You can only go to FoW/UW once you have ascended anyway. I think statues of Grenth and Balthazar would look pretty cool in a Guild Hall. What would be worth paying for them?

A central place for holiday events...I can see the attraction for Factions people who don't have Prophecies at Halloween, or for Prophecies people who don't have Factions at Chinese New Year... but I like having the different cities all dressed up.

Once again I would recommend Guild Access... so you can take your Guild Members who lack a campaign to the celebrations. Or Guild Guests.

Its aswome, and combined with suppresing chars too high a level, and cross-campaign travel it would make an already awsoeme game even awsomer.

/signed for ONLY the following: Centralized large PvE focus city, Centralized Island for trade (replace all of the time spent traveling between LA, Kain, and Kamadan) and finally Centralized access to FoW/UW.

The whole concept is great, I would think though that if there were gonan be bosses for the Core Elites, they would have to be level 20+.

Don't want them level 3's running around with Elites. :P

I think this would be a neat area;

However, it must have a large, central floor area for dancing. And an auditorium, like in Henge of Denravi, but actually implimented with steps and a podium would be nice, and it must have a HUGE beach.

Make it like Tahiti for your characters. One nice big relaxation island. With fun recreational activities surrounding it to loot.

Go to Great Temple of Balathazar plox

It sounds so very much like the great temple of balthazar with an auction house, access to UW FOW etc..
In fact i don't think the Temple serves any function other than a cross campaign meeting place, cos you can't do much else there apart from the isle of the nameless.
I think it would prolly jus be easier to upgrade the great temple of balthazar (funky fluro lights, disco ball etc xD)
Just cos its on the Battle isles doesn't mean u have to pvp to go there =P

Unless its cos you want to exclude the pvp players???

in case you never noticed....the Battle Isles are already centralized and accessible by all campaigns for PvP purposes, this new area would do the same thing except for PvE purposes, since right now all of PvP is pretty much centralized, and all PvE is split amongst campaigns.

/signed IF there is at least one place there with NO TRADING and all the resources named in the OP. Have places that allow trading of course, but please have a no trade place too.

The armors and anything else there should only be core because giving people access to armor sets from other campaigns there would cause them to lose money and create less reason for people to buy the other campaigns.






P.S.

FFXI already has all this lol... they have the 3 separate kingdoms each with it's own Auction House, then there is Jueno where everyone from all 3 kingdoms meet up and use the Auction House there more than the ones in their kingdoms since everyone goes there. It's actually why I have played FFXI more than Guild Wars over the last 2.5 years that I've had both games. If Guild Wars ever put an Auction House into the game and got rid of the trade channel, it would be 100x better game to play. No annoying trade spam, no spending hours upon hours trying to sell stuff by spamming a channel... just put it on the AH and go do more missions or farm or PvP.

P.S.S. edited for typo's since it was 1:43am

Hmm im not sure, I have split opinions, on one hand no one should be restricted to not being able to play with a friend b-c they don't own the same chapter, on the other hand, all the chapters have their own newbie island (pre searing is the same principle but not an island) and if a person buys one chapter they might get confused when they see paragons and assassins running around when they only bought the first chapter, this confusion may be an issue as they would be a newbie to guild wars, I /sign this if it could be used to serve a legitimate purpose (Auction house is wanted by almost everyone, it'll make it alot easier) sure it will take away from sites like guru on the high end sale and stuff but many people that play guildwars don't have a guru account ´, I don't think anet will design something like this just for the purpose of hanging out and going AFK like you guys say, they need a reason :P so we have to give them a reason if we want this that will effect the game on a new scale (Auction House) <--

But take off the PvP restrictions for access and change that to needing access to one hard mode at least which means that you need to have completed one campaign atleast to access it.

Love the idea of the zoo.... might add a resaturant aswell (explaining the meat which didnt qualify for the zoo... Jahai Rat burger and Phoenix steaks ftw )

The closed doors and the empty space in behind the Great Temple still looks suspicious for me...

Hm... really suspicious...

Why to add a place that you can only see once, nothing happens there, ans it's huge...

I still remember the doors and the overlooks...
