Heart on a rock?

Looking at the landmark page, it says Heart on a Rock, where is it? cant remember seeing something like that.. :/ Thepoisonx 19:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, does this 'landmark' deserve a link to a page if there isn't even a page to link it to?--Ph03n1x 06:53, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Removed it. If someone can find ANY evidence that this is meant to be there (other than "omfg that cloud looks like a turtle!" kind of evidence), please replace it. 69.249.223.63 21:01, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Disagreed! this isn't just a "cloud looks like a turtle!" it is quite clearly what it looks like, a heart with two sets of in intials. a nice little easter egg if your into that sort of thing. not sure it shoud have landmark status tho. pic to come. Kraal Fardale 09:36, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

So any ideas on who the love birds are?

One of the programmers or designers working on Prophecies got married during development and this was included as a memento. -- Large 13:45, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Rogue Bull

The Rogue Bull is there before the Mesmer's Burden quest, also. So it's before the quest and during... however if the quest is active and you kill the bull, no matter how much you rezone the Rogue Bull won't respawn until you abandon the quest. So before and kind of during. I'd edit the page and say something to this effect, but putting it eloquently (and succinctly) is beyond me at the moment. --Nkuvu 00:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. -- ab.er.rant 01:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

This is my fault; apologies. I assumed that the bull was only there after accepting the quest without properly checking it out. Thanks for fixing this --IAmAI 14:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Bug

Meaning? — ク Eloc 貢 06:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Meaning, that the other person responds to them. But they're never displayed. Backsword 00:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

kk, ty. — ク Eloc 貢 21:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it that they don't exist or that Verata just doesn't like to talk? the emotes seem almost self explanitory Tearh 01:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree, removing the bug note. --195.54.103.117 10:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Unofficial Landmarks

There are a number of official landmarks designated for Lakeside County:

There a few others that might have names as well.  The chambers and passageways of Devourer cave, the tunnel and open area off Ashford Mill pond, the various accessible islands, various hills, mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, cascades, shallows, deep water areas, and so on. --mtew 13:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I find this a bit of an overkill. There's no need to give every single road it's own name, and the same goes for insignificant ponds and rivers. -- BlackHoleSun 15:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Stop and think. Most roads have a name so people can give directions easily. Same for other features. In fact, the list is a bit sparse. I didn't mention house or other building names for example. The main thing is that the names be shared. Besides, it is fun to think up easily recognizable names for things. I am NOT suggesting that any of these places be given their own page! The only real problem might be if ArenaNet objects. --mtew 18:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I think people are just fine without these names so dont add them and yes it is so much overkill its like killing all the enemies in a war single handedly and then killing all the people on your side. - Giant Nuker 13:34, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

anyone else seen the rit looking spirit in the graveyard?

has anyone?

Yep-- BVt 03:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

This news is 4 years old. ~Shard 03:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Where is it? Is it targetable? Screens? Maybe the info belongs in trivia?--Ph03n1x 06:54, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Go into Lakeside County and look through the fence near the statue of Dwayna, It isn't targetable. - Giant Nuker 15:47, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Not there anymore :( 131.231.245.173 09:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

It's still there, look again. - Giant Nuker 12:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Anyone know why it's there or when it was first added? I don't remember seeing those kinds of ghosts in anything else that was released before factions, it's normally the blue human model, but I didn't get to play before Factions was released so I don't know if this ghost was in the game before then, or when it was added. It'd be good to have some mention of it in the article since for anyone familiar with GW it definately stands out as unusual. 86.147.151.141 22:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Both the Fissure of Woe and the Underworld have NPCs with this appearance.--Deus 01:32, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
