World AND Continent

On 2006 Feb 9, I managed to find Gaile in LA and got my question through.

Gaile Gray: Tyria is, confusingly I know, the name of the continent and the world.

That should settle the confusion once and for all. I thank the Chapter 2 interview that gave us a quotable precedent of a proper name in the game being overloaded to make the hypothesis plausible enough to pursue. -PanSola 20:04, 10 February 2006 (CST)

Really: Tyria the continent is part of Tyria the world, whereas Cantha the nation is found on Cantha the continent - they try their best to make this confusing. --Xeeron 23:32, 10 February 2006 (CST)

Battle Isles a continent?

Until someone produces a text related to ANet that states that they are a continent I do not think we should call them a continent. It's like saying America, Asia and Hawii are continents on earth. Battle Isles do not posses regions or locales or different races. ANet has even called them "Battle Isles" Instead of "Battlania" oe whatever. Indicating that they are just that, Islands. Counter proof? --Karlos 07:35, 12 February 2006 (CST)

Talk:Battle Isles#Continentality
Never saw that discussion with all the server issues. Sorry about that. I still oppose lumping it with the other two because even if you define continent as "area with separate map" it is still VASTLY different from all other "continents." For that matter, do we even know that it's in Tyria? --Karlos 13:02, 12 February 2006 (CST)
I'm pretty sure it's in Tyria, the world, but not in Tyria, the continent. While there are ships that travel on ice, I don't think there are any that runs through the Rift to other worlds. And I'm not really sure about this "vastly different from all others" issue. From what I've heard about Cantha, it's going to be quite different from Tyria, so what is going to be normal? Anyways, we should find some term that Tyria the continent, Cantha the continent, and the Battle Isles are all a member of. If it's not going to be "continent", then lets find the replacement. -PanSola 14:04, 12 February 2006 (CST)
