Ok, it’s the Maguuma Jungle from GW1. Feel is sort of a mixture of Dry Top and Silverwastes together, i.e. ‘Save the main Pact Camps’, ‘Follow the Shields’ plus random events. Quite a big map (still being built I think). Some new enemies, these giant mutant Hylek things and the enemy ones ride beetles (Also I think I saw a Terragriff rider, so the enemies get mounts it would seem).

Day/night cycle is 2 hours (hence the beta test time limits, each will be a full cycle). Mordrem attack at night.

We only got to see 1 zone. It’s pretty big though.

Just looked at the first map on full screen, there is about that much again with a doughnut hole in the middle that hasn’t been developed yet, you just fall down into blackness.

I managed to pop that area, though you can’t really do anything there yet it seems.

Gone for good after Halloween 2Ø12.
A shame fun things could not simply be fun.
