[edit] Map Image Incorrect
http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=420217&page=14 If you look at the above link, you will find that the map is inproportional. The map on the article was also taken from the same thread. Soulwar 00:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm taking the map away. It is an incorrect and unofficial map. Soulwar 22:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- From my point of view, it's not intended to be authoratative, just illustrative of approximate locations. My opinion is that the current map, or an alternate one that is more proportionally correct, should remain as an illustrative tool - provided the label is changed to more clearly state that it illustrates approximate relative locations of the various campaign maps to each other. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tyria (the world)
To address off the inevitable questions on this ... back in Feb 2006 (shortly before the release of Factions), PanSola was in Lion's Arch and asked Gaile Gray (Community Relations Manager for ArenaNet) to clarify the name of the world. The answer is about halfway down this log of her replies where she says:
- Gaile Gray: Tyria is, confusingly I know, the name of the continent and the world.
So it is official from ArenaNet that the world and the continent of Tyria share the same name. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:59, 27 February 2007 (EST)
[edit] Tyria 250 years on
Look at this pic, and also the one on the front of PC Gamer... Tyria looks like it's changed a bit after 250 years, to say the least. From what I can see, the Shiverpeaks have defrosted, Ascalon has recovered from the Searing, bits of Kryta and Maguuma have frozen, along with most of Kourna. --Santax 05:12, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
- yeah I noticed this myself when first seeing the picture. Alot could of happend in 250 years, tyria will have most likely changed after such a long time --

[edit] Is this information from the guys at Anet?
Just out of curiosity as it seems to be. However, certain portions of the information such as the Forgotten being created by an older pantheon of Gods could easily be speculation. So..Yes? No? Gmr Leon 17:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- It is speculation, but it has good backing. Tyria is the first world created by the current pantheon, there are worlds confirmed to be older than Tyria, the Forgotten were summoned to Tyria and not created there, so therefore they came from an older world. If they came from an older world, then they were created by an older pantheon. --Santax (talk · contribs) 09:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- You have a good point there, I just had a slight of hope that Anet may have decided to insert bits of lore on to the official wiki. That way if they modify older pieces they need only update it on here rather than reprint the Manuscripts with the newly altered information. Thanks for confirming my thoughts on it being speculation though Santax. Gmr Leon 17:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Demography
Just a heads-up to the removal of the Mursaat. It is unknown as to whether they were one of the first races on Tyria, so that information was inaccurate. Gmr Leon 22:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually..I just read that section in its entirety, and should it even remain there? It's rather vague and contains many misspelled words. Gmr Leon 01:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Which time period would this be referencing?
This page seems to be describing a mix of Guild Wars 2, Eye of the North, and original guild wars campaigns time periods, which time period do you think the world should be described in?Tambora 18:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- As of now, the GW1 timeline should be spoken about from an EotN standpoint or even just after it, since that is the 'current time' in terms of the actual game. Although that's just my oppinion, I'm not an official when it comes to wiki policy. Silavor
