http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/lakeshiresettlement2.jpgThis is a fun thread (http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=9521377498&sid=1) over on the forums, and though we've talked about favorite cities (http://www.wow.com/2009/02/25/breakfast-topic-which-city-will-you-champion/5) a few times (http://www.wow.com/2008/04/02/breakfast-topic-major-city-vibes/) before, I like the use of the word "settlement" -- it seems different enough from "city" to consider separately. Your favorite city brings to mind images of metropolises like Stormwind or Orgrimmar, but "settlement" could mean anything -- the Mirage Raceway, way out in the middle of Shimmering Flats (http://www.wowwiki.com/Shimmering_Flats) (those Goblins probably live there, right?), or the Arrakoa (http://www.wowwiki.com/Arakkoa) camps around Terrokar Forest. "Settlement" opens up the question a lot, from the biggest cities to the smallest huts on the outsets of Azeroth.
So what's your favorite in-game settlement? Booty Bay and Loch Modan get a lot of votes in the thread. Personally, I kind of like the Westfall Brigade Encampment (http://www.wowwiki.com/Westfall_Brigade_Encampment) up in Grizzly Hills -- it was fun wandering around there and seeing the old faces from Westfall. Back in the old world, Lakeshire (http://www.wowwiki.com/Lakeshire) holds a little fascination for me -- it was the first time in the game that I was out of Elwynn and starting to realize just how big the world really was.
