The World of guild wars is called ‘Tiria’, a continent with largely varied terrain types; from immense deserts to snowy peaks. The terrain variations can be clearly seen when accessing the World Map (click ‘m’ when in a town or outpost) as it features accurate textures of each region’s environment. Markers represent the various important locations of the world, including PvP maps, PvE maps, the Guild Hall, outposts and towns. Players will immediately notice that as soon as they roam around within a map or town, the world map then features a more accurate outlook of the area. This is due to a passive fog of war which has been implemented, although it may at first glance appear that there is no such ‘fog of war’, the map can be progressively explored and which after having passed through every location within the game; the map should be completely different than it first appeared when having first played the game.
