Town

In GuildWars Cities, Outposts and Mission Locations are enclosed locations that serve as a starting point for quests, missions or for exploring open areas.

Inside these enclosed locations you can meet other human players to team up as a party. Whenever you leave these enclosed locations, the GW server starts a new instance of the zone outside, this means only you and your party will be there, along with server-controlled foes and NPCs. Any other human party entering the same zone will be playing in a separate, parallel zone. You can quickly return to a City, Outpost or Mission Location by travelling.
