R.I.P., Old Man of Auld Red Wharf. Gone but never forgotten.

The researchers, at least, I know have been around since launch. They’re just in a surprisingly out-of-the-way spot, away from where you’d go naturally while doing hearts or map comp; I’m not surprised you hadn’t chanced on them before. The bridge bit is a sort-of reference to the area in GW1, back when crossing free-floating rock was a much bigger deal than it is in this game.
The glow… I could be wrong, but they look like they’re just flowers on a lower graphics setting. I’ll jump on and take a peek.
EDIT: Yep, flowers. They weren’t glowing quite as bright on my settings… and then again, between the sylvari and asura, glowing plants aren’t that strange along the Tarnished Coast.

Thanks, I guess my settings have changed recently. Sadly nothing new then =/
