Make it Ehmry Bay, not Ember Bay!
But it was called Ember in Guild Wars 1

That’s why it’s Ember Bay.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Simple fix: throw in a scrap of paper that reveals that Emhry Bay is a local name for Ember Bay or some such thing. Lost in translation.
It is like Sanctum of Rall, not a GW lore location
One of my 30 accounts (Malediktus.9250).
Ehmery bay was named after a Anet employee, so there’s no basis in lore to use that name in-game.
Call it Ember Bay, just because Anet wants it, and it’s their game, and their idea.
So.
Yea, the name’s fine. Lorewise it’s good too.

Perhaps you don’t appreciate that wvw is lore to many of us.

Why should the PvE lore be rewritten and favoritism shown to one WvW server?

There is precedent for using employee names for locations and I have no issue in using Ehmery Bay for an actual location. In fact it makes sense to have a location since so many servers are named after locations. However, it cannot be Ember Bay since that already had that name in GW1.
I always supposed Ehmery Bay sounded vaguely Elonian, maybe they can add it there if we ever go.
Most of the names of GW2 Servers are already existing names in the gw universe.
Gandara, Underworld, Riverside, and so on.
Why give already existing locations with a name a new name?
The only way I see they could give new non-lore names is, that they create new maps, which weren’t mapped before. Or, you know, have some wildlings create a village, and let them call it Ehmry Bay, cuz their founder was Ehmry G’Tar.
(;
If the new map is in the ring of fire, the area in GW1 is Ember Light Camp. In GW2 it is probably the same area and now Ember Bay.
Great games come and go, but the Awesome games are endless!!

Ehmry Bay can exist, though I’d say that sounds like somewhere in Elona to me personally, but I don’t think it should be Ember Bay which is both aesthetically accurate descriptor (whereas Ehmry Bay would have to be named after some explorer or a mursaat or somthing for it to make sense) and has lore ties to GW1 (again, Ember Light Camp).
Make Ehmry Bay some bay alone the Scavenger’s Causeway or the new Elon River’s path or something.
Sanctum of Rall – since it was mentioned – could be the grave of Centurion Rall Oldroar, as both are named after the same person.
