Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m new to the game and I was wandering if there is a way to announce a group event to everyone in the map? When i was in Wayfarer Foothills a Group Event was linked to the chat, but i don’t know how that happened… This would be a good way to gather people!

Shift + click a waypoint or point of interest on the map to link to it in the chat window as part of your message. Or ctrl + click it, but in that case it sends the message right away so you can’t add extra text (can also do this with items and skills).
