Guild Wars 2: Maps UPDATED

IGN has set up an interactive map for GW2.  Note that there is a PVP map link on the left side of the page.  Click on the Filters' pull down menu to see what the map markers mean and to refine your search.
http://www.ign.com/wikis/guild-wars-2/interactive-maps/WorldFull

Map Features is a section with maps showing items like Renown Hearts, Waypoints, etc.  That's linked to on the left.  I've also added a Favorite Links to GW2 Cartographers which looks like it is going to be very useful.

Free PvE Realm Transfers Announced

The list of places one can transfer from/to is here.
http://www.wow.com/2010/05/25/free-realm-transfers-announced/

The article links to a 2009 article about how PvE realms are the ones with too many players, not PvP realms.   I expect this to spark discussion as to how this will impact the PvP changes Blizzard is contemplating with Cataclysm.
http://www.wow.com/2009/01/09/no-pve-servers-are-under-populated/

If you are curious, this site is supposed to list how U.S. servers are doing.  The FAQ tab has info about how/what they measure.
