Guild Wars 2 Into the Dungeons

Dungeons are multiplayer, instanced adventuring areas. Unlike most of the rest of Tyria, which can be explored by solo players, dungeons are designed to be played and enjoyed in pre-arranged groups, composed of either your regular guildies or a pick-up team. Whereas our event system creates a dynamic, ever-changing world and our personal story allows you to weave a tale unique to your character, dungeons represent an evolution of the original Guild Wars game experience: instanced areas with a single group of players running through them.
Calling these adventure areas "dungeons" is a bit of a misnomer, since not all of them are underground. However, since the dungeons in Guild Wars 2 evolved from the dungeons originally presented in Guild Wars: Eye of the North, the name pretty much stuck. They share two key traits with their predecessors: dungeons are group activities and they are very dangerous.
At the time of this writing, we have eight dungeons in Tyria. They are not beginner's content; the earliest of them requires characters who've reached level 35.
