Now, I've been known to be a man to play outside the lines, in Guild Wars at least. Rather than let the Missions teleport me to the next area of the map, I tend to instead run around them, explore every nook and cranny in the game... and occasionally, take pictures of interesting things I see.

The game works this way.

I start off posting a screeshot, and a small, one line hint. The first person to find that spot, and post a screen shot of themselves there wins. The winner then posts another picture, another one line hint, and so on.

Just a fun little game.

Anyways, here's the first shot. This one is pretty easy.

Hint: Keep your eyes towards the havens.

Good luck Explorers.

Gah! My Internet connection keeps dying on me so this was about the only thing I could stay in-game long enough to do XD

Location: Stingray Sands, just up from Sanctum Cay. If you keep looking up, you'll spot that mysterious floating castle without any in-game purpose . . . though methinks perhaps we could put it to use in a GW rp ^^

I'm, like, 100% certain I'm right - even though I was a ditz and hid the interface when I took the shot ^^' my compass map matched Arcturus' perfectly. So I'll post the next one, but I'll take it down if I'm jumping the gun.

You know, that took me frankly, longer than I would have liked to admit. Mostly because I thought it'd be in the hinterlands, not right under my nose. Gah! I was off exploring Kessex's Peak tonight just to make sure.

Boy am I a moron. But deleting the District Finder was a nice little touch. It really should have tipped me off.

Anyways, Lion's Arch, the Lighthouse over the harbor.

Damn Photobucket, being annoying like that with shrinking my images.

Next post, next location. Mwahahaha!

If you've ever been here, you'd never forget it. So it's easy in that way. However, this one is in a place that is quite easy to overlook as well...

Kessex Peak? Man, that was quite a detour XD Aww. I sympathise. I'd resume playing, but I need to finish my assignments >_< Hard, when GW is calling me @_@

Ooohh I think I know where that is, XD And if I'm correct I hated that place for a while, so dully and muggy. Nice game though! I can't wait to play Arc!
