District

From Guild Wars Wiki

Districts are zones within towns or outposts. There are usually different districts for different territories where players of that territory would normally play; however, in the top left hand corner of the screen there is a drop down menu for different districts so you may travel back and fourth to other territory’s districts as many times as you like. Also if there are a lot of players in one district a new district will be made so that the original district doesn’t get too full up with players. This is to avoid massive latency (lag) and the chat window being unreadable.

[edit] Notes

• After an update, district numbers can be duplicated, but players with different builds will not see each other.
• In many Special events, such as the Wintersday Festival, some locations have been known to have over 200 districts.
