Guild Wars 2

I’ve done a ton of Googling, and the results are vague; I am not seeing a direct route to do this, so that I can actually run with my friend in that area.

First get to Lions Arch. If you have not been there goto the mists via your PvP menu and then there is an Asura gate to LA. Then head north and there is a circle of Asura gates and each of those goes to each of the racial main cities.

In every city is an asura gate that goes to Lion’s Arch. At the other end are 5 asura gates that go back to each city.

The easiest route to meet any player of any race starting out is to go to your races city (Hoelbrak for Norn / Rata Sum for Asura) – find the Asura Gate to Lion’s Arch and take it. When you arrive in Lion’s Arch there will be a circle of Asura Gates that go to each race’s home city.

So your friend can take the gate from Rata Sum to Lion’s Arch to Hoelbrak or vice versa.

All starter areas are besides the capital city. Inside each capital there will be a purple swirling icon which is an Asura gate that will take you to Lions Arch. In Lions Arch, you will find asura gates that will take you to all the racial capital cities. From there, you just step out into the stater area.

You may need to do a little walking the first time, but you’ll have the hang of it in no time

Awesome, thanks guys!
