Nobody the grandness of Feralas!? Worked for me! That and ashenvale.
Leveling, I like Westfall
Leveling Mining, I like Un'Goro (just go round & round)
Leveling Herbs, I like Swamp of Sorrows (herbs everywhere)
Leveling Skinning, I like Stranglethorn Vale (Nesigwary camp)
Nevermind, just change all that to Stranglethorn Vale, yep.
I can't really say since i haven't been to every zone in classic wow. If i were to guess, i'd say either STV, Hinterlands, Winterspring, 1K needles or blasted lands. I think every zone looks amazing lol.
I suppose saying Nagrand in Outland doesn't count in this forum :wink:?
Dun Morogh really has it for me. The quests get a bit boring after doing them a few times, but the snowy landscape and the ambient music fit so perfectly together.
For me there are a few zones that come to mind: Teldrassil and Ashenvale have that magic forest vibe going on and Un'Goro has the untamed wilds atmosphere. But I like Feralas just as much. So for me mostly zones with lots of foilage and trees. I mostly dislike the barren zones like Tanaris, Blasted Lands or Silithus.
To conclude I would say that my most favourite zone overall would be Ashenvale.
Duskwood and Redridge.
The entire theory behind picking different cholor schemes mentioned by Blizz is pretty clever and definitely had an effect on me. (Going from Green to Yellow to Red to Blue, if you play a Human) That's part of the reason I never liked questing in Kalimdor as much. Just a lot of deserts, mountains and wastelands there imo.
Redridge gives off that cozy atmosphere of your average (in a good way) RPG town, and Duskwood has that spooky vibe, great quests and memorable moments and they both have very fitting music.
Good question.
There is many for me but if there is just one too pick - it would be Tirisfal Glades.
I have so much found memories of that place, old brill and the inn.
Good time it was. :lol:
I am not sure why but I am always happy when I reach Arathi Highlands:
And a bit sad when I leave :P
Feralas and Thousands Needles one of my favourite zones overall.
As a leveling zone Barrens is hands down the best one. Surely for Classic will name my bank alt MankriksWife.
STV is da best.
I really like Redridge. The quests are easy enough, the enviroment looks great! And the time spent is short enough that i wont grow tired of it! 10/10 :)
Alliance: probably Darkshore.
Horde: definitely Silverpine or Tirisfal Glades. Absolutely love undead atmosphere and seeing the ruined human hillside.
Redridge, Darkshore, and Wetlands are all really cool. Also have fond memories of being in Feralas when I hit lvl 40 as enhancement in BC. Getting a kodo mount + dual wield + stormstrike all around the same time felt awesome. Remember that "weapons of spirit" quest? :biggrin:
tbh I like me a little STV. brings back memories trying to quest there
I've always loved Ashenvale for a number of reasons. First off, I was a huge, huge WC3 fan, so seeing Ashenvale in WoW for the first time was just incredible to me. It really drove it all home that "holy crap I'm actually IN the WORLD of Warcraft. Second, the Aesthetic is really nice. Dark, NElf-y woods. The music is great. It's just really enjoyable to be in. Then, it's the first contested zone I encountered, which brought a whole new thrill with it.
Duskwood was and is still one of my favorite areas. Dark and spooky with true terror waiting just off the path. I also loved the prehistoric feel of Un'goro. I remember my first time crossing the desert of Tanaris and descending into Un'goro, as the mists overtook the clear skies I could hear Pterrodax cries.
I'd heard of Devilsaurs but was excited to see one myself. It saw me before I saw it...
Eastern Plaguelands my guy! i just love smithing some undead! go to hell scourge! :D
Hillsbrad Foothills
I loved world PvP and that place was the place to go! No matter what level you were.
Endless upon endless battles.
Sorry for being generic but Elwynn Forest is definitely my #1 (in Vanilla WoW). This map always makes me feel like I'm in some kind of Amish town where I'm actually a part of the world. Dun Morogh comes close too. It was the first area I looked in to and I immediately fell in love with World of Warcraft wandering there as a tiny gnome.
