Possible 4th Continent???
=HT=Ingram
Remember the lore establishes that the mists link our world with other realities, Possibly others worlds even... So I think that is eventually where the evolution of the game will end up.
As to land masses, There is an established Island cluster the Corsairs are from, and a northern land mass the Charr are from. There is also the far Eastern areas east of Elona and Ascalon over the mountains. So there is still some things in this world to explore yet.
Opps Yea What Gorebrex said.

I think CH4 will be Norse based (a theory many have had). The noob island will be similar to the Brittish Isles and the mainland will go from forests, to cold plains, to frozen tundras, to mountains (be cool if the world of Tyria's tallest mount was here and an Elite mission was at the top).
CH5 + 6 may be North/South American Indian based but will likely delve us deeper into The Mists.
I also belive the Mursuratt and The Seer are from some world connected to Tyria by the Mists. Another world created by the gods, probably older then Tyria.

Im hoping for a big winterwonderland!

Elona is Africa - That too is quite obvious |
You sir obviosuly do not know where countries are.
Elons is correct affrica but all the Vabbian themes are muslim/middle eastern/persian settings. All of those are in Asia and not Africa.

think the fourth part will be in asia again

The 4th chapter should be located on a huge ring shaped world revolving around a sun somewhere in a far off galaxy. The inhabitants of this world will live on the sunward side of the ring. The ring would be appx the same distance from it's sun as Earth is from ours.
A huge array of panels between the rings surface and the sun will give the planet it's day/night cycle and control different weather conditions. Walls a thousand miles high keep the atmosphere from leaking out over the sides as the planet rotates to prodce it's gravity.
Because this planet livable surface is so huge, the possibilities for different types of creatures and sentient lifeforms are nearly endless.
Or the next chapter could be located on an earth size artificial planet orbiting Jupiter. The mostly biomechanical lifeforms on this planet live entirely on the inside of the planet.

How would you have Ascalonians, Canthans and Sunspears travelling to some world in another galaxy?

When did the Aztecs arrive in South America?
I better place a call to my cousin's in the Amazon if they've made it down there and tell em to clear out quick...
And somebody better tell the Mexican government that they've just acquired a whole new and very large tax base...

Ah, I thought it were random capitals.
It's totally not Halo. Having read all 3 books (note: I do not even own an xbox, and had only played a bit of halo 1 on pc) I can safely say it doesn't even look like Halo.

Yeah, I read the 3 Halo books before ever plaing the game on my pc. They were pretty good.
And they could get there through a rip in the space-time continuum.

you obviously do not know that there is as well as north africa which is 80% muslim...

Well, a ring-shaped world, rotating to produce gravity... Sounds like the HALO I know. Anyway, like I said, ANets got alot of options with the Rift, and as long as it has the same "feel", and tech level as GW does now, itll probably be on my buy list.
Trvth Jvstice
Yeah I figured most people would think I was talking about Halo. I was really kidding when I made that post.
Kryta or Maguuma were my favorite areas in GW so far. A chapter set in a hot steamy rain forest would be nice.

And a rotating ring to produce gravity is the basis of about 25% of the science-fiction books (yes, that's really exaggerated)

It makes sense as well - the Aztecs and Incas had very rich different cultures and the possibilities of the new characters could also work - i.e. Aztec Priest(sacrifices to gods etc) What does everyone else think?? |
Let's face it, Precolumbus North America would make for a very boring story of how tyrians paid stole their land and violated their women. Lame.
Orr, the Atlantis of GW, would be pretty awesome. It could be on the remains (the part of Orr still above the sea), and occasionally a mission could put you into a cove or something.
Lemuria, the...other sunken continent of Earth, would also be pretty cool. It would be a lot like your Central American theme, but with volcanoes. Leet.
That's what I think anyway.

I want to know what happened to Orr. Like exactly what happened. None of this "assumption" and "maybe" crap.
Also, Lmao Roflus brings up some valid points. What ever happened to Gwen?! What about everything else?
Factions and Nightfall didn't even have anything to do with the Guilds Wars and the "Heroes of Ascalon" of old Tyria.
If Factions is "Chapter 2" and Nightfall is "Chapter 3", then - NEWS FLASH!!! - these games aren't stand alone products!!!. They're extensions of the "Chapter 1".
Factions is pathetically short compared to Prophesies. Once you beat it, that's it! No more Factions! There is no "save the capital cities from impending doom after Shiro has been dealt with" quest. The plague? Oh well. I guess the diseased got bored after Shiro hacked up a lung and hitched a ride to the Ring of Fire to have tea parties with the fracking Mursaat for all eternity because they have nothing better to do. There is no closure or treaty that is signed between the Luxons and Kurzicks. They just "get along" now. Years and years of anger and loathing just went down the drain, even after the inflicted have decided to go off to wonderland and chill with Gaile Gray. The Am Fah? They're holding riots outside the Kaineng Center because they think their "new AI" sucks arse.
Nightfall isn't any better. Once you beat it, pack up your bags, 'cuz it's back to Tyria for a fun-filled afternoon of green farming, FoW, UW, and Titan quests!!! WHY DOES NIGHTFALL EVEN HAVE THE GUILD WARS LABEL ON IT?!?! There are no GUILDS! There are no ALLIANCES! It's all one big ORDER: the Order of the Sunspears!!! At least Factions had Guilds and Alliances! The only difference was they called them "Factions" instead! Nightfall is just one fracking Chubby Chuckers Club of people gunning for a forsaken god who has nothing better to do with his eternal life than torment a bunch of people wielding sticks and stones!
Hey! NerfNet! Wake up and smell the coffee! You did EVERTHING RIGHT with Prophesies. Then you managed to do EVERYTHING WRONG with Factions and Nightfall!? It's truly AMAZING how you managed it, but you did! Kudos!
And I thought the Matrix did bad as it dragged on...

mmm very strong opinions there-
but yes, i agree!... with it being "wrong" or "bad".
not that it was bad or wrong but more else a been there done that problem...
I Loved Prophecies for its rapid storyline, going everywhere and killing enemies, Factions had a new story too! A plauge and Alliances and Factions and so on.
And Shiro?
He wasnt Blood thirsty or war craving or even desiring to be a God (at first), no! Shiro was scared of being killed, so killed first. Then came the desire for control, but it was new!
But Nightfall, oh Nightfall, what did we get.
A girl with a Demon God, how many times have i heard that story? (No gender restriction though)
