Getting to the Center

Hey everyone,

I just recently purchased Factions and have made two characters. Long story short, I want to get to Tyria as soon as possible so I can team up with friends and guildmates. What's the quickest way to the center? Someone told me there's a way to get to it without having to fight anything, but I've yet to discover it. Also, both of my characters are in the Marketplace...my Ritualist is at the mission right after it.

Thanks.

Stay left. When you go out into Bukdek Byway, just stay on the left side of the map, along the coastal side. If you take the right direction, you'll only encounter a few mobs of Afflicted right near the end, which you can run past.
