I have heard people say that it will be in an expansion, that it has no point, etc. I know none of the ideas here will ever be used, but I though it would be fun to come up with things that the island to be.
In my opinion, it would make a nice challenge mission for end game prophecies, or maybe a core location for events and mini-games. What do you think?
What should the black island to the north west be?

Thats where the Asura invent time travel 250 years from now.
But the technology was incomplete, and now the island shifts in and out of the time stream. This, of course, is the reason we can't travel there.

It's the Galapagos of Tyria,
Only drakes and birds live there, among them some very endangered species.
Accessing the island is strictly prohibited for all player characters as it would disturd the delicate balance that keeps the wildlife intact.
Rumor has it though than an ancient facility that spans several square miles and goes over a thousand feet underground is located in the wasteland valley on the center of the island.
The Asuran Archaeologists Ross and Well once tuned in on a gate that wasn't theirs, after entering they found themselves in a lab like underground place which, though older than anything previously seen by the Asura, was far more advanced than Asuran technology today.
After trying to extract the data from the what seemed workstations they triggered a defence system which collapsed the gate just after the datacollector golem escaped through.
The data recovered from the golem was incrypted and incomplete but clearly showed some kind of blueprints for aircrafts, powercells and DNA reconstruction along with yet untranslated fragments of text.
Nowadays there is no record of a golem with such data and all records about Ross and Well seem to have been removed from history as if they never had been born.
Still reports are coming in from all around Tyria of frightened people seeing strange round and triangular aircraft moving at incredible speed and making a humming sound.
Farmers have also reported crops to be destroyed in strange patterns and their lifestock being mutilated or disapearing.
They have also been seen in pairs and people say that it looked as if the aircrafts were "arguing".
But that's just rumors I guess....

You have no clue.
It's the Cat Island.
It was in Sorsaria, it was in Serpent Isle, it was in Japan, and now it's in Tyria.
Now, seriously. Not every spot in the map has to be somewhere you'll visit. It doesn't matter if it's and island so it stands out more.

Not a suggestion, moved from Sardelac.
Fun fact: this island doesn't even show up in a map of the world for GW2. It probably will have no significance in the near future.

It's just part of the tyria map that never got used. Likely they planned to use the place in EoTN when they decided to do an expansion instead of another whole campaign. When they were crunched for time and rushing to get EoTN finished they likely decided to cut w.e. part of the game was planned for that area. Doubtful it'll ever be used in gw1 at this point

As for what the island is, its most likely a island that isn't touched. Given that its a volcano or rocky island in Gw1 and a Green in Gw2, it could be anything, but more or less its something that we may go to in GW2, or may not. Only Anet knows.

The expression you just referenced is actually "The proof is in the pudding". This common idiom is used all the time, but makes absolutely no sense. Why? Because it is a shortened/mangled version of the full expression, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Which makes quite a bit more sense! NOW YOU KNOW!
OT: Mursaat Island. Or monkey bowling. Or both. Yeah, I like both better.

The island is the End Game of GW2, its where you travel to with Thakarey and he betreys you and kills your party and claims the scpter of orr for himself, controling the dragon whats his face, you know, the big one from the movie.

It will be most likely a piece of the area "Corrupted Orr."
Its in the same vacinity of where all the sunken earth pieces have risen up....

@cale...Good point.
Only problem about that is, is on the other side of the map, its not even close to Orr.

What about all that unexplorable land to the S/E of the island? Maybe that's where the 'elves' are from?
Shady Guy
The Delta holds a thriving port city. Everyone is welcome if they can get a boat there. The area to east of the island is filled with beautiful gardens and forests, I tell you the whole region is a paradise.
Also, I may be mistaken about this but I am under the impression the mursaat island was in the south somewhere. Don't know where I may have read that though, and it isn't just that I am confusing it with the isle of Janthir.

The map Posted above by Me shows a overlay of the GW2 continent Over top of the GW1 continent.
Still shows it as a part of the Ring of Fire Islands

If I were asked, "Is the proof in the pudding?" I would probably look at you funny. You might as well ask me if the proof is in the custard or the strawberry preserves. Direct misuse of an idiom does not make it correct. Play again?
