Immersion and world building matters. Orgrimmar is just a bigger version of Razor Hills at best. And Stormwind got constantly updated until now.(The harbor, the cethedral place, the new castle and the memorial for Varian), each time growing a little bigger. We are stil stuck in Cataclysm, including bladefist-bay, the biggest joke of a harbor/port this game has ever seen. It is rather a landfall place like normandy minus the protection measures.
Extra: If we ever get a proper, deserving revamp of Silvermoon I will never leave that city again, or the rest of the zone since the magnificence would overwhelm me too hard and fall addictive to it. #sindoreipride
Every city and settlement in WoW engine is the biggest joke in general. To help save your blood vessels, donât think too much on what is actually seen in-game and actually read what is provided about them.
And iâm very well aware of how immersion and world building is an important factor, thank you very much. Which is why iâm surprised you use in-game representation as solid fact. Take this for example: Iâm sure Silvermoon is not two halves of what is, at best, small town-sized divisions with a huge gash.
Ah, good times. Goblin supremacy defeated the Wildhammer dwarfs there. It was once again the innovative minds of Goblin tinkers, inventing anti aircraft guns, to match their new founded airfleet-base/landing hub. Not a full sized city, but a nice place regardless.
A lot of rebuilding should be finished by now. Itâs due to Blizzard being lazy, that another revamp hadnât changed the Draenei isles and Quelâthalas like the rest of the world already by now. Those zones are the oldest ingame place still unchanged.
Exodar. Draenei are amongst my favourite race in the entire game, and when I entered the Exodar (including the music) I was in awe. I love the crystals and the entire aesthetic in the ship. Fits the Draenei perfectly!
Boralus. This city is just brilliant. Itâs a shame it isnt used more as a RP hub such as Stormwind is, cause the possibilities in the city is endless. It looks great, great music, and Iâm a sucker for the sea in general. The tavern music too is amazing.
Gilneas. I know it ainât as active, but I still love it.
Ironforge. Mostly due to some huge nostalgia. I remember walking into the city for the very first time back in 2009 with my childhood friend back then when we first got WoW. The music and the entire look of the city had us excited and running around for hours.
Darnassus. Night Elves are my favourite race after all, but Darnassus never looked that great to me, honestly. Teldrassil itself is among one of my favourite places ever in the game, but Darnassus is a low for me. Sadly. It could, however, look great if they were to re-vamp it, or the Night Elves got a new city. (Wonât happen, I know.)
Stormwind. Nothing amazing about it, imo. I really donât like the aesthetic (except for the Mage Quarters.), and I donât like the music.
Some honorable mentions from me that have nothing to do with my OG list:
Booty Bay
Gadgetzan
Ratschet
Everlook
say what you want about goblins, but without those places Azeroth would look much poorer than needed. This unique bulding style, combined with the influence of the cartels, enriches the world bulding in general.
Doesnât matter what you write, your Avatar defines you.
If you play a Nightelf, you are subhuman scum and get mocked for a burning tree.
If you play a goblin, you are subhuman scum, and get called vermin.
If you play a Bloodelf, you are subhuman scum, and a Sylvanas fanboy.
Thats how some people think unfortunately No need name them i think.
Thatâs quite true, unfortunately. But thankfully, thereâs those who donât take this game too seriously and are able to have a laugh about it!
On a serious note, judging someone by their avatar is just plain stupid.
I do think that Erevien should tone down with that, I completely agree with you. Just because I play a Human doesnât mean that I like all Humans. The Alteraci and Dalaranian scum should be expunged for their friendship with the vile Horde.
Why donât you listen to your druid leader and just hush like Tyrande? Oh right, youâre too busy driving potential allies over to the Horde. Whoâs next after the Blood Elves and the Nightborne?
