Did you, by any chance, get that from GWO?

I have the full map, but it's 22mb. That link above is down. I'll upload another one.

Actually I got it from #guildwarsguru and #gwpickup IRC, shrunk it down, hosted it and then edited my post to include the full link. If... you really really wanted to know. :P

Looks like they will be opening up a new area under Riverside Providence. Just one question where was that photo taken in the #1 post?

The real mystery is... where did this come from? It was first posted on GWO a few hours ago, which was posted on GameFAQs. I have no idea how the original user got hold of the image.

A little off-topic, but I thought it was also pretty cool..
Play.com have a proper image of the box art up.

2. Dervish
3. Ele?
4. Sin
5. Paragon
6. Monk

But that drags up the question...what are dervish and sins doing in Ascalon?

Pure speculation of course..

Here's to hoping the field north of Ascalon gives the original feeling Preseering had.

I'll have a good scan over the other areas but look we got a 100% map already (bit high resolution to do a photoshop difference scan) but still good to know where else we can go

Don’t forget the cavern system for the new dungeons which probably is not shown here. I actually think that the dungeon maps will be set up like the Realm of Torment map. I wonder if you don’t have prophecies though will the center pieces of the map be blocked out for you.

I hate the Relm of Tourment map
I really hope the dungeons don't "re-fog" after you leave like the current underground areas
I never understood why . . . we can learn the layout of above ground areas so why not the underground areas??

There is an obvious golden city structure in the center of the Tarnished coast I wonder if that is the city of the Mursaat?

Top left - Norn City
Top Right - Dwarf City
Bottom could be the Mursaat Temples as suggested above

The images I posted, as well as the the map in the OP are stills from a video of ANet's E3 presentation. Links are found in the OP of this topic.

I'd highly recommend watching them. Downloading them is even better. The quality for me improved 10-fold.

Top left is actually in the Charr homeland I think, and there is a concept art of it on the Guild Wars official site just let me get a link.

Top Right seems to me that it'd be the eponymous Eye of the North.

few things I noticed...

first the speculations on the landmarks...
top left - charr homeland...seems to match up to that concept shot...looks like it could be a large town....or just scenery...there's 4 portals right by it...
top right - It's the Hall of Monuments...confirmed in the videos posted today in this thread (part 1): http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10176999 the map displays for a second before the UI goes away when he enters the hall of monuments.
bottom - Outpost or town again...see the two portals on the east side and south side...

I don't think any of the areas we see in the map are Dwarf areas...I would bet that the snowy areas are the Norn areas while the Dwarves are underground...

other speculations on my part:
-Area immediately south of riverside providence...looks like it could be some kind of burnt out temple...and the lake below it looks like it could have a volcano in the middle...and the shores around it look burned...
-Area west of Fisherman's haven...not an accessible area but that looks like some sort of plateau...like Devil's Tower in Wyoming...that is a different look from the in game map...just thought I'd point that out.
-Area west of Droknar's Forge on the coast - my guess...Sylvari area...
-There seems to be some textures reinserted to cover up an area to the northwest of Ascalon...the far northwestern part of the most northern Shiverpeaks. Perhaps this is an endgame area they don't want to reveal yet. If you look at the area you'll see a distinct editing of the image.
-To the east of that area...but before you get to the charr homelands..there's another area where it looks like someone covered up an area again...a long strip of an area...
-South of that strip...on the other side of the explorable area to the south of the strip...there's another area that looks covered up...
-On the eastern side of the area that is probably the Charr Homelands...there's an area that's not yet explored...but it looks like an area we can get too...
-South of Fort Ranik seems to have some weird burned out area...not sure what that is...

The map clearly is not complete...there's areas that are clearly covered up...which means there's probably more areas on the map that are covered up too well to tell that they are covered up.

And no doubt there are areas in the dungeons that don't show up on that map at all...there are numerous portals on that map that seem to lead to nowhere.

I don't mind that they covered up stuff...leaves some mystery to it.

Also with the expanded map there's a lot of new areas for future expansions (hope hope hope)
