    5. Because it saw a “Guild Wars 2 – Collector’s Edition” on the other side.

    6. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

      To go home and be a Family man!

    7. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

      because his guild was on the other side, heard he could get some good loot. :)

      1. Pourquoi les Sylvaris traverser la route?

        Pour découvrir que les locaux d’ArenaNet ne sont pas très loin… il suffit de traverser la route, c’est à 100m.

    8. Because the butterfly they have been following around all day has just crossed the road in front of them.

    9. Because someone said “if you cross the road, I will kill you and Guild Wars 2 would be destroyed for all time but if you stay here, you stay alive.”

    10. Because the Sylvari had to, someone else might’ve gotten it wrong.

    11. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

      Because

      The Road goes ever on and on
      Down from the door where it began.
      Now far ahead the Road has gone,
      And I must follow, if I can,
      Pursuing it with eager feet,
      Until it joins some larger way
      Where many paths and errands meet.
      And whither then? I cannot say.

    12. Why did the sylvari cross the road?
      To get to the honey mead bar-Bees Nees Bar

    13. Because he took a lichen to a sylvari on the other side. But alas, it was a fruitless pursuit.

    14. It followed the trail of blue and red smarties. Wouldn’t make sense to follow the yellow ones, who likes those anyways?

    15. cause if he dosn’t, he ll never know what is waiting for him on the over side of the road : Lot of adventure in Guild wars 2 !!! :)

    16. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

      ‘Mother Nature was calling’…

    17. To help Wile E. Coyote cross the road without getting flattened by an oncoming vehicle.

        1. She had a hot date with an elementalist, she was headed to the nursery to get her hedges trimmed up.

    18. Becuase the Tyranids had entered area and consumed all life, the Sylvari sought to escape the Insectoid marauders

    19. Because a band of charr was chasing them with a “Charrzooka.”

    20. To explore the world for all it has to offer on her very own adventure, all the while taking her trusty canine friend along for the journey. It’s the best reason, the only reason, and a seemingly popular one ;)

    21. So there was this event, right? And apparently you have to get into this yellow circle to get into the event, so this Sylvari was trying to reach this circle but couldn’t catch it since it was moving. It’s became sort of an event on it’s own, just to reach this bleeding circle but it was futile.

      After quite a few minutes of chasing Sylvari met some other adventurers trying to get inside the event zone. They decided to run together just for fun, since it wasn’t helping in any practical way.

      There was this funny little Asura, who happened to be a Warrior which made everyone laugh since he was nearly half as big as Charr Mesmer’s longsword. On the other hand this Mesmer was quite rubbish, because when they asked him to speed them up magically he just growled and said something about “fancy magic for sissies” and that “real Charr makes only dangerous magic” which made everyone wonder why on Earth would he choose to be a Mesmer in the first place.

      There was also Norn Necromancer who hated undead and was repeating this statement every two minutes which made even less sense than the previous two guys. Fortunately he was quite alright with curses. Those magic ones, I mean. Not that it could help in this situation, but it still was reassuring. Eventually they will catch up with the event and every skill could be useful.

      Last, but not least there was this human thief. Well, he was with them only for a minute, nicked all the gold from Charr’s pocket and disappeared. Never trust humans, I think that’s the lesson from this.

      After long and tiring run they finally did it. They got inside the event, ready to use their unique, however peculiar, skills for the good of the team. To fight evil and chaos. To make sure that Tyria becomes a slightly better place after this complteing this task.

      So there was a road ahead of them and event description said “check what’s on the other side”.

      So the Sylvari crossed the road.

    22. Why did the sylvari cross the road? He didn’t have enough money to use the waypoints. :D

    23. The sylvari crossed the road because they know that travel broadens your mind.

    24. To further their understanding of these mystical constructs that the humans call roads.

    25. Because the charr on the other side “woodnt“ quit “barking“ orders…

    26. …to see if he could find 5 Red Iris Flowers for Nicholas the Traveler.

    27. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

      Because someone hinted about hidden treasures on the other side..

    28. Because they heard elfs were coming into the game and are going to kick them out

    29. The Sylvari crossed the road to kill the elder dragon on the other side.

    30. The sylvari crossed the road because…EVIL THREATENS TYRIA, BUT OUR DREAM WILL GUIDE THROUGH DARKNESS…TO DAWN!!!!!!

    31. Because his side was burning, and fire is super effective against grass type

    32. To escape all the players that are wishing they could “roll” a sylvari…

    33. He/she was curious about what is on the other side.

      (hopefully she found release dates!)

    34. Why did the Sylvari cross the road?
      To travel to the heart of the Pale Tree and ask if it could send them some GW2 beta keys. :D

      the tree is clever enough to make this a clever answer i think, isn’t it? :P

    35. “Why did the Sylvari cross the road?”

      The Sylvari crossed the road to learn. It wished to impart more knowledge onto the Pale tree, so that the rest of it’s kind would be more prepared for the world outside The Grove. That’s why all Sylvari cross THE road.

    36. Because it had bronchitis and nobody got time fo dat. SWET JESUS!!!!

    37. You see, there was in fact something shiny on the other side of the road. Given that the Sylvari are curious in nature, there was no chance of escape from the shiny object across the road. Our little Sylvari had to do it, not because it wanted to, but because it needed to see what was so glittery.

    38. Because the great adventure alvais waits ont the othre side of the road

    39. ah easy once my fellow bookah,sylvari always cross each road they have in the way to find more answer the world have to give and adventure to discover,is in their nature.

      If the world give you Road,you dont need to be smart to move your foot and follow your way through

    40. Because, due to an unlikely series of events, involving a chicken, an methane explosion in a local guild hall, a dawn flash flood, and fit of epilpsy, our hero found himself fleeing a large dragon dog, itself suffering from insomnia due to a particularly loud owl and dehydration, through a small dense wood and into a local settlement, founded in 1184AE by a group of nomadic norn with crimminal backgrounds, which happened to have a single road between our hero and the safeest place he could hide, a seedy looking tavern with a 2 for 5 coin Hunter’s Ale happy hour deal.

    41. Why did the Sylvari cross the road?
      To run from the other servers hunting zerg.

    42. It’s not the sylvari who cross the road, but the road who cross the sylvari !!!

    43. Because it heard the land calling out for champions on the other side and wanted to answer.

    44. Q: “Why did Sylvari cross the road?”

      A: “Because the dragon was on the other side”

    45. Because of increased numbers of plant eating insects on their own side ;D hehe

    46. The sylvari crossed the road because the light was green!

    47. The sylvari crossed the road because the wind blew her seedlings to the otherside.

    48. Q: Why did the sylvari cross the road?

      A: To get his BW2 access key of course!

    49. answer: Because they come to help other races in future fight against the awakening evil.(for example dragons)

    50. The sylvari crossed the road because they saw in their Dreams, that the site of their road is going to be destroyed by a huge nyan cat, who’s blue rainbow line was damaged by goblins, causing a failure in cuteness-time-gravity engine, causing it to crash right on the silvary site. The TBI (Tiryan Biro of Investigation), think that the goblins were part of the terrorist group Al’Crafta, from the dark old lands of Azeroth, trying to destroy the new world of Tyria, for their new system of no holy trinity, and free movement, that’s against their classic mmonian religion…
      Sad, but true :/

    51. Because there is a Delorean at the other saide, so he can travel forward to the GW2 release date!

    52. So he could get the treasure chest on the other side and get all the gold

  1. Silly bookah, I have not the time to hear petty simple minded jokes about the Slyvari. I’m busy in this game of Polymorph.

  2. Because there was his zerg of asuras and norns on the second side of the road and he wanted to gank a red base.

  3. “To get to the other side” may not be a bookah answer, but it would be a very Sylvari answer. They’re very curious and direct.

    However, given what I know of Sylvari I’d say that a more appropriate answer would be:

    To find out what is on the other side.

  4. To see what is going on on the other side of road. Because Sylvaris are very curious.

  5. because they are tired to wait and they want to play with us! :D

  6. To watch on poor people, cutting trees and destroying nature. Then they came back to “their” side :)

  7. Why did the Sylvari cross the road? To avoid being made into a salad.

  8. Because it was delivering my GW2 beta key with haste, not even pausing to check the road for rampaging Charr. So great is his dedication, so important his cause, that his own life means nothing in comparison to his task: the safe delivery of the GW2 beta key.

  9. Because adventuring all around Tyria in the opposite direction was too time consuming.

  10. Why did the sylvari cross the road?
    Because the the other side had a brightly colored forest…

  11. It’s a trick question i say! The Sylvari would never cross a road. Roads are a synthetic man made product made from bitumen – a series of Hydrocarbons extracted from crude oil. The Sylvari are the Tree Lovers of Tyria and their dictionaries don’t consist of the word “road” ! If they were to ever cross a “road” – it would be to simply spread some quick growing seeds over the surface of the road! Thank you. :)

  12. There was a Dynamic Event coming/happening on the other side.

  13. She was tired of having to ask the others to leaf her alone.

  14. Why did the Sylvari cross the road?
    To get back to the forest obviously!

  15. He did not cross, he slipped on a peel of a friend and ended up the other side of the road!

  16. . . . to kill ten rats of course, he had a quest and they only spawn on the other side

  17. Because he was hunting a Charr raiding party and the road got in his way.

  18. Because Heart event zone was being funny and was ending in the middle of the road.

  19. To escape the onslaught of termites that seem to spawn in the beginner area of every other MMO.

  20. To get busy with Poison Ivy.

    bow chicka bow wow

    And b/c my Amazon preorder doesn’t include beta key. I’m a slave to amazon prime.

  21. To get to the Pale Tree to enter the Dream of Dreams in order to obtain the ultimate knowledge!

    To enter get to the Pale Tree and enter the dream of dreams in order to obtain ultimate knowledge!

  22. The Sylvari crossed the road, because in her dream she saw snowy monsters and their danger, she dreamed about the dragon Jormag in the north, and his danger to oppress the Norn, shortly after her awakening, she traveled north, to aid the Norn against their fight against Jormag, this is one road of many to cross, on her way north towards her goal, where she will be spending her life until Jormag or herself is defeated.

    Well, he saw a young fair maiden with white flowing hair! Isn’t that obvious? DUH~!#

  24. because someone build the road through his way back to arbor bay !

  25. he hasnt crossed the road yet, but give him a few and im sure he will shortly

  30. They cross the road because the wind flew his clothes to the other side, and they dont like to be naked, because it reminds them the autumn.

    Because Gordan Ramsay were out of lettuce.

  32. Because a Charr said the word “Gullible” was carved into a rock on the other side. :)

  33. To blend in with the shrubbery. This side of the road clashed with his celery complexion.

  34. to reach the Dark Side of the Moon…so he can see a live gig of Pink Floyd!!!

  35. The sylvari crossed the road to get to the “other side”….. yup it was a very suicidal sylvari who no longer wanted to live :(

  36. Because this side was reserved for playable races in the beta weeekend.

  37. Thy Sylvari crossed the road to look smaller (and therefore more intelligent) to any person on the one side of the road. You should really know this by now, bookah…

  38. Because they wanted to learn more about life in Kryta since they are a new species and have a lot to learn about the world.

  39. …to walk amongst the vegetation, spreading their pollen as they wove their way through the depths of the forest, in order to pollinate the plants on the other side.

    an asura fishing in the sea
    a norn chopping down a tree
    a human giving waffles for free
    and a charr running away from an angry bee

  49. Why did the Slyvari cross the road?
    Because he married a Birch.

  50. To get to the greener grass on the other side, so he could count sheep, and fall back into the Dream of Dreams!

  51. Sylvari crossed the road, because she saw a charr-baby crying on the other side of the road.

  52. It is the nature of the Sylvari to cross roads, and wherever their curiosity takes them.

  53. because a tree fell across the road.. (Silva is Latin for forest)

  54. Why did the sylvari cross the road?
    So you guys could ask this question and give us a chance to win a beta key. Thus making us to play the Sylvari race out of gratitude.

  55. Why did the Sylvari cross the road? Because the wind blew them over there.

  56. Because this particular Silvari is easily persuaded, you see. Why does one listen to others? We listen in hopes such active caring will, in turn, benefit us. That is what this young one sought. This one’s true love (or so the poor girl dared to hope) encouraged this one to cross with him. She hadn’t known him for long, but she felt something for him, and agreed to cross the street… not knowing his plan… to push…

    They got to the middle – a horde of centaur – his plan in motion – he pushes – she lands on the other side as the centaur stampede over him.

  57. To rescue his bride from the Charr that had been kidnapped the night before they were to be wed.

  58. why did the sylvari cross the road? to avoid the leaf eating animals and the vegetarians.

  60. which silly bookah let the sylvari out? dont they know how much they are worth?!?!?! so much for my scientific experiment..

  61. …to get out of the beta. Those Sylvari have avoiding the public for too long!

  62. To meet with his buddies: a Charr and a Norn, so they could walk into a bar.

  63. Why would they indeed?
    Althought it is in their nature to be curious…

    Let’s trail them from a safe distance and find out, curiousity usually kills the cat… err Sylvari O-O

  64. He crossed the road from curiosity and desperately wants me to get a beta key!

  65. Because he wanted to see the Double Rainbow!
    “OMG ITS A DOUBLE RAINBOW, So intense!”

    Am i right ;)?

  66. Because the whole world is new and exciting for the Sylvari, and unlike the chicken, Human and Charr, very few of their kind have crossed any roads at all. (Asura of course don’t have time to cross because of all their awesome arcanoribonoctulum theorems and such, while Norn are more likely to kill a road than cross it)

  67. Too find a green leaf in his green leaf tea.

  68. The cake is a lie (cit), so is the road, Sylvari never crossed the road.

  78. to get into The Grove of things, for their dream of dreams wasn’t good enough.

  79. They crossed the road to see how lovely the world can be and to feel the magic on the other side of the road.

  80. To stop the humans from cutting down the Pale Tree for resources

  81. the sylvari crossed the road because they know right after their awaking they are ment for a change in the everlasting world of Tyria, meant to be part of the team who’s destiny it is to defeat Zhaitan and to bring peace back in Tyria.

  82. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

    It was just a simple explainable Bio-Mechanical reaction found in all Sylvari in which was a response to a given stimuli at a precise moment in time and space.

  83. To flee from the incoming Giant Dragons of Doom that are destroying Tyria.

  84. Why did the sylvari cross the road with a clever, bookah answer?
    Because that is what botanists do: cross one species with another to get a new one. This one has probably tried to create a “Path to Knowledge”.

  85. So you want to hear the story “Why did the sylvari cross the road?”, huh? Well ok pals, sit down and listen. At the begenning there was a dream. Dream about plants and trees, earth and nature. But then the dark times came upon Tyria and everything has struggled. There was no one, that would take care about it. Old races took care about themselves. And in these bad days dream has came to exist. The road – path which was divading dreams and reality – was crossed ans the First Sylvari was born.

  86. To begin her journey in the Ascalonian Catacombs with her partner Olak, the Warrior Norn. But suddenly a portal opens in front of them that takes them to the Wall. It is the dead of night. Wights and wildlings are approaching. The night is dark and full of terrors. Olak and the Sylvari unsheathe their swords…

  87. He wished he could stick around but had to leaf, you might not bay leaf him but he had to go branch out. He need to pro-seed to the other side and when asked why he crossed the road, he said from his own Tulips, “I don’t have the thyme, I am digging this Herb-un enviroment but I must return to my roots.”

  88. Why would anyone cross the road? That is a silly question. Why do these silly Charr parade up and down with their steel machines, or the Asura covet their crazy worthwhile inventions? There is so much out there to learn! So much to explore! So the answer to your question, silly human: For Adventure!

  89. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

    because the chicken dared him to!!

  90. To go.. to Guild Wars 2.. Beta weekend.. Sleep on the warm.. grass of gw2. And.. because.. all he ever wanted.. to ever do.. was to join a beta weekend.. He loves Beta Weekends.. and never been in one! *sadface* help this poor slyvari cross the road to Beta Weekend!

Before a substantial answer to this question is available, I suggest 40 hours of meditation every week, without breaks for about 27 years. Only then will we know of the true answer of why the sylvari crossed the road.

  98. DON’T DO IT, SYLVARI! We all know this is code for killing yourself! You’ve so much to live for, come on. Put down that dagger and ride with me to the Grove! Also, you owe me twenty coins.

  99. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

    Because he still had 2 rats left to kill.

  100. Why are you bothering me with silly questions about a race of beings who use the sun to feed? Cant you see im busy tweaking my “Spenoflange”. They are needed for the operational use of the… you know what. I dont think your inferior intellect would understand. So remind me why your here again?

    To get back to The Grove of course. Or that’s where the sun was shining!

  116. Due to their curious nature, I’d say “to get to the other side” isn’t accurate, to explore the other side is more like it ;)

  117. To check their emails, if they got invitation to to beta weekend :P, not really, from different side of the thing u can say because they had better living there.

  123. Why the sylvary crossed the road?
    Oh, that’s a tricky story!
    I think it all began… let’s see… When a Human named George, and a Norn named William went on a hunt. They were hungry, indeed. Because they had been fighting epic fights all day, and they had not seen even a drop of water for the whole day. Suddenly, George started to hallucinate and did by mistake perceive a wandering sylvary coming by to be a deer. He ran and ran for his target, which was about a minute from him. However, it took as much as 40 seconds before the sylvari had spotted the haywired human. Paniced, seeing the sword leaning towards him made him turn around quickly around, and run. Run OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY. And finally, he saw this road you are talking about, and that’s also why he crossed it, because he was being hunted by a human…

  124. To learn from the ghosts she saw on the oher side… Being a curious race, and a necro, she figured it would help…

  125. To meet up with the Asurans to play in this next beta weekend ofc

  130. The road is a lie! it was a mesmer illusion!, so it was never crossed :P

  131. Because they have not yet discovered the dangers of oncoming traffic.

  132. To plant a beautiful everlasting tree, which would represent the very essence of the sylvary’s life: eternity granted by nature. Her plan was that one day, after her journey succeeds, she would do a pilgrimage back to that very spot and think of what she had experienced and learned throughout her adventures. The tree would also serve as a friend to the sylvari, who would be there for her whenever she needs someone who she can connect with. This connection is not a physical bond, nor a mental one, but a spiritual one, where the sylvari’s curious and witty soul would dance with the tree’s wise and peaceful spirit in a breathtaking moment, in which all the flowers, animals and trees around would sing melodies which would pierce the souls of every living creature and would fill them with happiness, awe and calmness.

  296. Why did the sylvari cross the road?

  527. Well there are quite a few possibilities as to why this particular sylvari decided to make a grand journey across a road. It could be that the said sylvari was simply curious as to was on the opposing side of the route he/she was standing on. In that case the sylvari may have seen some kind of wondrous object and gone to investigate. However, he/she may also be escaping some terrible monstrosity conjured up by one of the many evils that dwells within the land of Tyria. There is a chance that an elder dragon has flown down into the general area that this sylvari was lounging in, which would most likely cause a response along the lines of running in the opposite direction, and just happening to have crossed the road. There are many more reasons as to why he/she may have crossed the road, but there are far to many to go into much more detail. So for now I say adieu, and wish you success in your quest to find the reason as to why the sylvari crossed the path upon which travel occurs.

The Sylvari was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting ,in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the Sylvari by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the Sylvari use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken’s people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best Sylvari along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the Sylvari mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the Sylvari change to become more successful.

Given the nature of a plant-in-a-box thought experiments first put forth by A. Snaffstein, the wave functions of which I won’t go into here, suffice it to say that a plant-like people would cross a road constantly and rapidly, if only to create a higher array of disorder of a system.

    perhaps he was going on a date,
    with his sexy olive-skinned soul mate.

    Maybe he wanted to get the chicken that went over,
    or maybe he spotted a four leaf clover.
    But I think it’s more likely that he wanted to get to the other side,
    so that he could find a safe place to hide.
    His home may have been under attack from a savage guild,
    and although he wanted to fight back he was still quite unskilled.

    He vowed to save himself and run for the hills,
    he would train each day for some new found skills.
    When he reaches max level and learned how to fight,
    he will return, but there will be no one in sight,
    because he will be so powerful they’ll be scared of his might.

    That despicable guild that ripped his home asunder,
    will run away screaming when they see his power of thunder.
    Realising stepping on this land was their gravest blunder.

  1207. To visit the lands of spirits beyond the horizon where she could ask for advice and wisdom by her ancestors in order to become more powerful when fighting the hordes of enemies to maintain the freedom in the worlds of GuildWar.

  1208. To check out all the hot male Sylvari! I hear they grow them leaner and greener on the other side!

  1209. Because only a Sylvari would cross a road that only exists in a dream.

  1210. the sylvary cross the road because they are young and know nothing of this world. they didn’t fully realise the implications of one crossing a road. but they had to cross it in order to grow as a race… and face the elder dragons!

  1211. And Balthazar down from Fissure of Woe and told the sylvari… “Cross the road.” And the sylvari crossed the road and all rejoice.

  1212. Because Sylvary never turn around, just twist 180º and keep walking ;D

  1213. The Sylvari crossed the road, in imitation of the animals around it.
    But the real reason for the Sylvari crossing of the road, lies in the fact that – no Norn, Char, Asura, and Human together, can stand against the Elder Dragons just by themselves -.

    (that last sentence came out a bit long, but you can get the gist of it)

  1214. because i want play with my girl friend in my bed *.* and to practice sex in the Tyria :D

  1215. Because the Sylvari was running for his life, chased by an intergalactic army of aliën frog-like creatures that will not stop until they have exterminated the Sylvari race. They want to exterminate the Sylvari because the Sylvari didn’t allow the frogs to live in their tree-like body and then they got angry. The Sylvari knew that if he would cross the road, the silly frog-like aliëns would get run over by a car and get squashed like a toad.

  1216. Because the wind was blowing the wrong direction to spread the seeds XD

  1217. So the Pale Tree doesn’t meet an unfortunate end in the middle of such a path.

  1218. To see if the grass on the other side is as green as the one on her side. Rumours said that it had a bluish tone, but she wouldn’t believe that!
