Alliance it's a toss up between Dun Morogh and Elwynn Forest. For Horde it has to be Mulgore, I feel like Thunder Bluff is one of the best capitals in the game.
I love all horde starting zone and all of them for different reasons.
Tirisfal for its gloomy mood and new begginigs.
Durotar for its feel of (re)building home.
Mulgore for the tribes, Thunderbluff and flourishing vegetation :)
None of them.
Wait just a second before you grab the pitchforks!
This is not because they're bad zones, it's just that I've created that many alts that never made it past level 10 that I'm sick to death of them.
Mulgore > Teldrassil > Elwynn > Tirisfal > Dun Morogh > Durotar

Elwynn Forest has such beautifully peaceful music and ambient sounds.
I listened to this whilst working this afternoon. What a nerd, eh? :ugeek:
Probably Mulgore, just because it's the only starting zone I haven't played through 20x already.
Mulgore > Teldrassil > Elwynn > Tirisfal > Dun Morogh > Durotar
I agree with this
I love Durotar, but I think Tirisfal Glades has a better flow to it.
Nothing can beat the classical fantasy setting of Elwynn Forest.
A wizarding tower, a tavern that's always filled with people, knights in shining armour, and vicious half-humanoids terrorising the countryside are just some of the lovely bits you will experience while encompassed by the idyllic and soothing atmosphere of a summertime forest. You feel safe, your adventure is still beginning, but you will still face many challenges here.
Subplots involve making an invisibility potion, exploring seemingly abandoned mines, and a murder investigation!
Something I like about the human starting zone is that once you have overcome the lowly struggles of Elwynn and continue to venture out towards Westfall and beyond, your later adventures will keep bringing you back here, making the world feel more connected. Quests in Stormwind, Westfall, Redridge, and Duskwood will all have you coming back to the safety of your characters cradle for various reasons, making the politics and culture of the kingdom of Stormwind feel more real than some of the other factions in the game.
Being a human first, Elwynn will always have a special place in my heart. Teldrassil is right up there too, along with Dun Morogh. I can't differentiate between nostalgia and quality content.
I did make an undead character, but I don't really remember much about it, so I'll have to be sure to check it out.
Elwynn forest by far. The music, the colours, the quests, it all fits perfect together. Dun Morogh comes second, a bit boring due to all the snow, but it also got some nice music and quests.
My least favorite has to be Mulgore, but mainly because taurens feel so slow, combined with the large plains of Mulgore, makes the experience dreadful.
Tirisfal Glades -> Elwynn Forest ;)
Without a doubt, Tirisfall Glades. My first and favorite starting zone. All the feels. Mulgore 2nd.
Tell, do raw zeals serve the smoky mind ?
I dun't maw raw that often.
Just like a bell wins the heart of the fallen, the altar is foul.
Endure, out are our foes, massing like a fun dear blow flowering before these weary gates.
As hero thrives.
Azeroth rises.
There is and will be, nothing better than walking up out of that crypt in Vanilla.
Starting by the Valkries now, bleh. There is something special about literally walking out of the grave.
Although I'm a Horde player, Dun Morogh probably is my favorite. Normally I dont like snowy landscapes, but Dun Morogh just has a special feeling to it. Tirisfal probably is my least favorite, it's just ... depressing.
