This is one of my favorite screenshots. Even if it isn't the easiest main city to navigate because of how big it is, it is beautiful, magical, and there is something eerily peaceful about it. I love how magnificent Exodar is, and all of the purple doesn't hurt since it is one of my favorite colors. The sense of it feeling almost haunted really resonates with me, because of some of the awful thing that have happened in my past, but somehow they were still able to make something beautiful out of the tragedy. Divinity's Reach is one of my all time favorite main cities. I've always, always wanted to live in a castle so getting to have a home instance here brings a little bit of that dream to life. Sometimes I like to run around Divinity's Reach for no other reason than to just look at it and enjoy it. Seeing all of the towering walls/homes, beautiful glass, and plants really brings it together. I really like looking at the houses that are supposed to be on the other walls. Its not very traditional as far as castles go but it is a really cool use of space and gives it even more of a unique look. I want to put a house here so bad! Part of me kind of hopes that if I keep mentioning it and thinking/believing it will happen! I want housing so bad for my MMO's! Hallow's End is my favorite holiday so I like to use the picture for Silvermoon that I took during it! The pumpkins match really nicely! All those warm tones work so well to make you feel like you are in a city full of cheer, even though it is much more serious than that. Playing the Blood Elves was part of what really made me fall in love with World of Warcraft, I still remember how magical it felt to see this city for the first time and the Eversong Forest in general. I love the happy Dr. Seuss style trees and their wonderful puffs of color remind me of Autumn, which is my favorite season. New Lion's Arch, I actually liked old Lion's Arch, but New Lion's Arch is better. It still has that nautical feel that Old LA had but the whole city has a better feel. Old LA was full of brown tones and almost felt a bit dreary because of that (the boat houses were super cool though). New LA has a much cleaner and fresher feel to it. It still feels nautical with the main buildings being in the shapes of creatures from the sea. The beautiful way the blue glass makes them come alive is something magical. New LA isn't like the other cities of dreams where they are full of pretty colors and have an ancient feel to them. The other feel old and almost wise, where as this city is very new and unique. It makes a lot of sense for a port city, and sometimes I miss old LA but not for long when I load into New LA. Part of me isn't sure that Tarir counts but its my blog, and I wanted to leave off on my favorite city (even if it isn't a hub city like the others). I don't think Tarir will ever get old to me, I'm too entranced by its beauty. The warm sun reflecting on the golden arches, and the magnificent stain glass, brings such brilliance to the city. All of the little carvings and shapes designed into the walls, it looks very ancient (and it is supposed to). Arenanet put so many little details into this city, and I can't get over that, because of how much it reminds me of real ancient cities. A lot of times when we build, buildings now we don't do all of the detail work, all of the hand crafted features that were in much older constructions.
I love the ornateness of Tarir, I just wish I could see it in real life. Maybe if El Dorado is ever found this is what it will look like.
