Guild Wars 2

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elona

at the bottom of that link is the notes section, it says that Elona is not available in the initial release of guild wars 2. seems like a hint to me

you realize that Wiki pages can be edited by just about anybody. Wiki’s do not count as official sources of information on this game.

Or anywhere else for that matter.

While wiki is not an official source. Did you know that most people who claim that it could be edited by anyone, has never actually tried to edit a page?

It’s said that since a good year, maybe more, before Launch. Sorry.

I actually have had the pleasure of learning how to edit a wiki page. It is not all that difficult to learn how to do. And yes, anyone can learn how to do it given enough time and patience. So please don’t go using that as an excuse to claim that it somehow validates the information within a wiki page.

Anet doesn’t really maintain the wiki, fans do….so it might just be wishful thinking…though I do suspect that Elona will be coming back at some future time.

It’s not hard to edit a wiki page. Just click the edit button next to the information you wish to edit, and type in the new information. I’ve done it several times. You don’t even need to make an account, actually.

Where is Elona exactly? bottom right of the map next to Elon river? If an expansion was to add Elona wouldn’t they need to increase the World map?

It was a statement made by the dev’s because they had to explain that neither Elona nor Cantha would be in the initial release of GW2.
We’ve always known that there is a possibility of them being opened up at a later date – but it has always been and will always be a possibility.

It is not a hint, it’s just a stated fact. It could be 1 year down the line, it could be 5, it could never ever happen.

@ Coltz, Elona is directly below the Crystal Desert – and yes they would have to add to the world map, but that is essentially what they had to do with GW1 as well, so it’s not a big deal. (Nightfall and Factions had separate world maps, whilst Eye of the North enlarged the Prophecies would map – the GW2 map shows you most of what the eye of the north map had on it, the original release of GW1 had a little bit less.

The wiki god has spoken.

The way they did it in GW1 was to create a completely new stand-alone map for the new continent. It worked

With GW2 they would be more likely to just add on to the existing map though.
GW1 the point was that zoomed out you could see the whole map – if they tacked Cantha and Elona on everything would have been too small. GW2’s map already doesn’t fit on the entire screen – you have to scroll up or down even on full zoom. So yeah, I think they would just tack them on at the bottom.

That statement has been present since before the initial release of GW2. Unfortunately it means nothing, as “nothing” is set in stone (quote from Dev).

I wish we had more to go off here, but unfortunately not.

Hello Kitty isn’t part of the initial release of GW2. Does that mean we might get Hello Kitty soon?

They even hint at it with the forum-filter (kitten); so it’s actually even more likely than Elona!!!

let’s worry about opening up the entirety of the Crystal Desert and the Far Shiverpeaks to open exploration before we really even think about adding in whole new continents to the game.

Cause ya know… as the Explorers of old (in the real world) used to say in regards to the edges of Map’s “Here Be Dragon’s!” In fact that was the reason anyone who sailed with Christopher Columbus had to write their Last Will and Testament. It wasn’t that they thought the world was flat. It was because they thought actual Dragon’s inhabited anything they hadn’t explored yet.
