Guild Wars 2

For a very long time there was a mysterious Asura gate visible in the sky near the red keep in the EBG just as you crosses distance thresholds in the renderer. I asked here, and a developer told me that it was left over from before release (before servers), when all players zoned in to that spot and then selected which side of the BG they wanted to play on. I haven’t seen it in a while now, I think I vaguely remember they removed it.

But I still sometimes see a mysterious place that I zone into when I join EBG. When I was on ET, and we were linked, I assumed it was part of the linking process, similar to the original portals. As in, I would zone in to that area the game then attached me to the host server and portal me to their start point . But I transferred to CD earlier this year, and I still sometimes see the same mysterious zone in point even though I’m on the host server.

Is that point the same for all three sides, or does each side have their own? Does anything else interesting happen there? Can I throw siege there if I someday fail to zone back out to the spawn in point?
