Zone
From GuildWiki
A Zone is an area of the game. For technical reasons the world of Tyria is divided into zones connected by boundaries. Every area boundary will always have a sign next to it indicating what zone it leads to. An area boundary can be recognized by the sign or by the thin translucent white barrier that marks the beginning of the adjacent zone.
There are various types of zones:
Missions, arenas, and explorable areas are instanced zones, whereas cities and outposts have districts.
[edit] "To Zone"
"To zone" means to travel through an area boundary or using the map to go to a new zone. Example: "Everybody ready to zone in?", "Just zone, all the dead players will come back to life." This has the same general meaning as the term rezone, with slightly different usage.
