Town

From Guild Wars Wiki

A town is a non-instanced location on the map, as opposed to explorable areas. It is similar to an outpost, but larger both in terms of size and NPC population, usually with all NPC services present.

Most regions have a single town, although a few regions have none.

Towns are also sometimes referred to as cities, and also as a general term used to encompass outposts and mission locations.

• You enter and exit a town by passing through a portal.
• Towns can be selected for Map-Travel.
• When the leader of a party Map-Travels from one town to another, the whole party is transported too.
• A maximum of 20 Miniatures can be in use by players at any one time.
• A Character is displayed as empty handed when in town regardless of what weapon or off hand is equipped.
• Any Death Penalty or Morale bonus is lost when entering a town.
• A town can hold a maximum of 100 people. If full, additional people are placed in a new district
• The towns in The Jade Sea and Echovald Forest can be controlled by player alliances, which provides some special benefits to the owner guilds.
