Guild Wars 2

My character (level 13) was in Divity’s Reach in Anvil Rock server, and a friend of mine (level 9) was in Caldeon Forest in Anvil Rock, we made a party to continue her story mode.

Once we created the party, the portraits were black, so I couldn’t join in her story mode.
Then I started to walking through the map to reach her, and once I crossed the portal to the Caldeon Forest, her portrait turned available and I was able to join her story mode.

None of us was in the Overflow server, both were in the Anvil Rock, but the party just turned available once we were in the exactly same location looking at each other character.

As I’m aware of, the expected behaviour of the party would be to call all members to join the story mode wherever they are (unless they are in a different server or already in a instance).

This isn’t a bug you need to be in the same zone. (Lol I just noticed our names are the same :P)
