Talk:Ring of Fire Islands

They are not always referred to as "Island Chain." And that just makes the name inexplicably longer. --Karlos 14:04, 29 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * On guildwars.com they are referred to as "Fire Island Chain"...where are they called the "Ring of Fire Islands"? --Ravious 05:45, 11 March 2006 (CST)
 * Never mind Abaddon's Mouth (Location) calls it the "Ring of Fire Island Chain." So, I guess there is not true canonical answer. --Ravious 05:48, 11 March 2006 (CST)

Fissure of woe is part of The Ring of Fire Islands
Though I am not going to change the Ring of Fire Islands article I would like to show proof that The Fissure of Woe is Part of The Ring of Fire Islands Chain By this list of proof
 * 1) The Fissure of Woe has The Ring of Fire Islands Chain loading screen
 * 2) The Fissure of Woe appears in the quest log in The Ring of Fire Islands Chain category
 * 3) The Fissure of Woe has same type of Hydra as Perditon Rock(specificly Mahgo Hydra)
 * 4) The Fissure of Woe cannot possibly be in the mists because Obsidian Furnace Drakes(found in The Fissure of Woe) are able to be imported. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.250.112.46 (contribs).

 * Thank you for not changing the article straightaway and posting for discussion first. Here are some considerations:
 * Having the same loading screen is not 100% indication of regional location. Consulate Docks uses the Kourna loading screen yet is located in Istan.
 * The quest log category may just be a remnant from the time when only Prophecies existed. It might have been located in RoF but
 * You can only enter FoW via a God avatar (like UW).
 * It is filled with Eternals. These are dead worshippers of Balthazar. The dead goes to the Mists, not to an island in RoF.
 * Only small spots are left that's unmapped in RoF. You think the Mursaat wouldn't have taken advantage of a bunch of dead guys there? :p
 * It is Core. The trend is that Core areas are being moved out of the campaign continents.
 * Factions and Nightfall monsters appear in multiple regions. Mahgo hydra was reused likely because they're deadly for the unprepared. If all the monster types in RoF can be found in FoW, then it would be more convincing.
 * Obsidian Furnace Drakes came much much later than FoW. And the Drakes on the Plain quest isn't actually a "serious" quest. It was more likely that Anet developers simply dumped all the Drakes that exist into that quest.

Realm of Torment
This may just be me being paranoid, but I noticed that some of the rock carvings in the Ring of Fire are similar to those in the Realm of Torment. Observe:

compare this to

There are others like these but you need to look closely.

 * Maybe similar to why the shadow army look like white mantle, a-net just reusing graphics. Lord of all tyria 08:42, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Well... if you ask me, the one on the left look more like skulls with jagged edges, and the one on the right look right squarish faces of golems or such. Similar yes... but... what's your point Marin? That they designed Ring of Fire with Realm of Torment in mind? I highly doubt it. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 04:57, 15 April 2007 (CDT)
