Guild Wars handles transportation differently. Instead of having to mindlessly run around, you can instantly teleport to locations you have previously visited. This might be disorienting to players used to traditional MMORPGs, as Lost In Ascalon #1 illustrates. There are boats in Guild Wars, but they are more for show. You talk to an NPC - POOF - then you're gone. Who needs boats when you can instantly teleport to your destination? Although, this freedom of movement isn't always accepted by traditional MMORPG players. Lost in Ascalon #1 illustrates the situation.
