Any EU commanders or otherwise awesome people that can set this up?
I would very much appreciate it!

You can either Guest to Sorrow Furnace, or just send me a whisper once you’re in the map and I can Taxi you to our map instance.

Since the mega Servers, they’ve made it quite easy to play together.

This is awesome. Saw it on GW2 Facebook. Will bring an alt to run one of these nights.

Edgar – Just wanted to suggest the following linked website for completion maps and steps for all the zones. If you have 2 monitors you could have the map on one while running the game on the other. I use these when I am working on completion solo and it works out quite well.
http://www.postcount.net/index.php?pageid=tdwindex

Oh and just to let you know Norton Internet Security says that the website the maps are on is malicious, but I have never found anything wrong with the map files. Neither Norton or Malwarebytes have ever found anything on my computer after using the maps either.

Thanks Out!
