I have a lot of love for a lot of the cities in World of Warcraft. I have fond memories of entering Darnassus for the very first time; of falling in love with Stormwind; of… of… getting lost in Exodar. (I still get lost in Exodar.)
There is one city in the game that I love more than any other, though, and that is:
Yup. It’s Thunder Bluff.
What is it about Thunder Bluff?
I don’t quite know. Perhaps a lot of things, actually. It’s the peaceful, serene environment. It’s the really relaxing music. It’s the tauren, i.e. one of the best races in the entire game. It’s the fact that no one else is ever there and the fact that I know where everything is because it has always been my favorite city and it has never really changed much.
It just feels like “home” to be, whether I’m on a max level “main” or a low-level alt. I can always sit down on one of the hammocks in the inn next to the bank and log out, knowing my character is nice and cozy and among friends in Thunder Bluff.
What is your favorite city?
My favorite city is Dalaran.
Horde-side, it’s definitely Thunder Bluff. Alliance-side, giving the nod to Darnassus.
Thunder Bluff always and forever.
The bonfire in front of the chieftain’s long house was always my favorite pace to host rp events. (Though people always seemed to complain about it being “out of the way,” but who needs that sort of negativity, especially when you’ve got the awesomeness of the tauren)
Thunder Bluff…unless they decide to give Trolls a city that’s not just used for a starting area.
Silvermoon. The architecture aside, my goodness, could you imagine living in perpetual mid-Autumn? I like me a good four seasons, but if forced to stop the clock on only one type of weather, that’d be it. So amazingly beautiful.
