The area of the map I have highlighted. Will this end up being anything?
I know GW2 was supposed to be the next thing out, but this area is so big when you zoom iin on it and with the other island there as well. I find it hard to believe this is just going to be an empty area of the map.
Thoughts?
The area west / north of Umbral Grotto ~ Will is be anything?

I certainly hope we will see a use of the island in the top left corner in the future

Well they never said they wouldn't release extra content for GW once GW2 was out, people just assumed...
But I don't think you should read too much into it, probably just wanted to fill the map out

To be honest, I actually thought the Great Destroyer was going to be "in" that island. When they originally upgraded the in-game map I was impressed, now not so much. If they don't do anything nice with all the space it will be a complete waste.. almost 1/4 of the map non-explorable.

would be nice to use the rest of the map (since its there already), but am thinking that the muses says NO as the crew is hard at work on gw2---(well thats their answer to everything these days why not for this as well).
some new content would also be great seeing as well do have some time before the next one comes out (and it would give people more to do than break into the code).....
we can hope.

You too, Molock? I was surprised to find he was chilling right up by Yak's. :P

A: A-net wanted to make the map look more complete as it would look weird to have a large chunk of nothingness.
or
B: A-net will use that spot in the future when/if they ever add more content to guild wars.

Could it have been where Utopia would of been set?
Otherwise i think its just filling in so the map is square

From the concept drawings of Utopia, marshy/jungle/wetland areas, that area looks like where we might have gone. But sadly, it will never be.

probably land of the slyvari?
Tyla
Either that....or they're planning implimentation of that PvE island like that suggestion in Sardelac that got 5stars and epic /signing...
But I don't really see a use for it now...

The island looks like a rocky, mountainous area. What could be introduced there?
Shayne Hawke
Considering how the Slyvari seem to be born out of the ideas of Ventari and that his home in the jungle doesn't seem to look anything like the island, I doubt we'll be seeing them introduced.
It would interest me if we had another series of quests like the Titan questchain that had to deal with slaying a dragon that awoke soon after the Great Destroyer was slain.

the sylvari come from ventari's refuge, not from that area, this info is per guildwars SE pc gamer

I'm sure this same question was asked at the time of the map expansion?
Anyhoooooo
me thinks it's a gm/testing island

Something COULD be there, just not publicly......
Or they could be saving it for a mini-expansion.
Crimso
Why would the sylvari live there when their birthplace is in The tarnished coast(where ventari's tree was) since they are a new(newly born) race they couldn't really get to the island.
I think it will have significance in GW 2 though A dragon is probably living there/probably will be the location Primordus came from.

I'm sure most would hope for some kind of an update utilizing that area before GW2 comes out, but at this time that doesn't seem very likely 
Longasc
I asked the same or at least a similar question in Druid's Overlook.
My question was who or what could be living there in GW2.

That's about one fourth of the entire map wasted right there. I do hope they come out with something interesting. I'm not as much interested in the island as I am the river basin though. I want to see what's there.

I predict the unused area will be another Sorrows Furnace type area. You heard it here first folks.
Kayelyyb
my suspicion is there is along time between now and gw2 releases plenty of time for ppl to get bored and move on, they have to have a sorrows furnace type update in future to keep interest alive in gw or this game will be long gone by time gw2 releases.
cosyfiep
that would be my feeling as well...though deep in the pit of my stomach I feel that gw is done--no more updates etc ---that would be sad since there is so much more than CAN do with what is already there, so here's hoping that I am wrong (and that it is just something I ate bothering the pit of my stomach).

Only problem with the "nothing more for GW1 as we are all working very hard on GW2" is i can see a "nothing more for GW2 as we are all working very hard on GW3" coming in a few years
Trvth Jvstice
I'm sure there will be some sort of add-on for that area, it's just too large an area to remain empty.
Oddly enough, the prediction that "GW will be dead soon," has been prophesied here many, many times, starting at least 2 years ago. Yet, there are more players than ever and the player base is getting larger every day.

That extra 1/4 of map i don't think will be used in GW1 , however it has been stated in magazines and such (even hinted in various ways too) that GW2 will be using the same map as tyria currently. It may not be "the" same map, but i can almost guarentee you (aside from outposts) that it will look the same.

Well SF was free so I dont expect that, but I would pay a small fee if they made some of these areas usable.
Shadowmere
As much as I would like to see more areas and content it seems ANet dosen't really want to commit to adding more content at this point.
Idk, I don't think GW1 will die before GW2 comes out however I get the feeling that most of the "veteran" players playing now (played the game about 6 months or more) will be gone by the time GW2 launches. Unless ANet can give us some kind of timeline for the launch of GW2 they run the risk of losing a considerable amount of their current playerbase if they really are serious about not adding any more expansions, SF style updates, or BMP type content.
Hope I'm wrong, I really wanna go exploring up in that quarter of the map!
