Here's the dealio:

Someone posts a screen of a very beautiful place in the world of Guild Wars (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall or Eye of the North). Only when the correct Explorable Area has been guessed correctly may the game proceed to another screen of another area in the world of Guild Wars!!

Update: You may also include areas in missions of Guild Wars: Prophecies (the name of the mission would have to be guessed correctly).

This thread was an idea of mine to help appreciate the awesomeness scenery of Guild Wars, since there is a lot of optional stuff that people never see when they just do the primary quests and missions.

Legendary Cartographers, watch out, your memory will be put to the test.

I'll start.

Where Oh Where could this be?

Looks awesome, no?

Sigh...... man..... that was just..... you ruined my fun!!

The correct answer was The Falls.

Ok, someone else can post a screen now. Make sure it's a cool area though, and make it somewhat mysterious too.

The vines and the waterfall are a HUGE give away lol

Trying to decide if this is even suppose to be here, prob more suited to off-topic as it has no real discussion potential except OMG PRETTY!!

I'd say it should go in the Screen Shot forums.

Here's an old screen shot I think might be good. The menu is there because it was before I knew about Ctrl + Shift + H.

Given the hills and trees, it's gotta be somewhere in Kryta...

That's gotta be somewhere in the D'Alessio Seaboard mission.

Ugh, yeah it's Twin Serpent Lakes. Wiki is a total giveaway! But it was also an obvious screenshot, though...

But I'll say this. Bungeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Edit: looking at these old pics.. God I miss my ranger..
