Guild Wars Revival Website & Interactive Map
We’ve been working on a new website for the Guild Wars Revival community, and I would love to share it with the Legacy community:
The site is designed as a home for our community and alliance, with Luxon and Kurzick guild directories, individual guild profiles, community links, Discord sign-in and a dedicated onboarding page for anyone looking to join us.
The main attraction, however, is our Guild Wars 1 interactive map:
It currently includes six world maps covering:
- Pre-Searing
- Tyria and Eye of the North
- Cantha
- Elona
- The Battle Isles
- The Realm of Torment
You can search for locations, outposts and explorable areas; filter quests, NPCs, elite skills and other points of interest; and quickly jump to daily and weekly activities such as Zaishen quests, Wanted quests, Vanguard quests, Nicholas and the current PvE/PvP bonuses.
The map also includes:
- Quest, merchant, artisan and collector locations
- Elite skill locations with profession filters and alternate spawn details
- Animated mission walkthrough routes
- Interior maps for areas such as the Underworld, Fissure of Woe, Sorrow’s Furnace, Dragon’s Lair and Canthan Undercity
- Connected-area navigation between neighbouring zones
- Marker clustering for busy areas
- Shareable links that preserve the current map, position and zoom level
- Mobile and touch-friendly controls
One of our favourite features is the path creator. Right-click anywhere on the map to draw your own route using to Guild Wars-inspired directional markers. Points can be moved, removed or annotated, and routes can be shared through a generated link.
Players who sign in through Discord can also:
- Track completed locations and captured elite skills
- Save named filter presets
- Add private farming markers
- Attach routes and Guild Wars build codes to farm locations
Everything has been built specifically for the site, including locally hosted map tiles, responsive controls and a custom decorative interface inspired by the original game. We’ve also credited the community projects that helped make parts of it possible, including GW-Memorial, that_shaman and GWToolbox++.
There’s still plenty we’d like to add, so feedback, corrections and suggestions are very welcome.
