Ultima Online- Terathan Keep
Everquest- Kithkor Forest
Everquest 2- Isle of Mara
SWG- Hoth Instance
DOAC- don't remember the name of it but it would open up after you controlled the keeps.
The Sunwell in WoW , my god, i was stunned when i saw that. visually insane
Hunter's Village (Lineage II)
The surroundings, the ambient music. It all fits perfectly...
3-way and Karik-bridge in the Lair of Antaras (Lineage II)
...many good memories there - questing, PvE, PvP and even PK
The crossroads and the bottom level of Deceit in UO. Both provided me with countless nights of PVP for years.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
Wow- Maraudon
Maybe i just loved the waterfalls but the area being so large and you could enjoy an entire room for minute or two is tough to beat in my book
Everquest, in the zone just outside of East Freeport (commonlands i think) in between the city and the sea there was an inn, used to stop there often just to listen to the music, wish knew what it was called
WoW - Un'goro crater love the little wilderness there with the dinosaurs and for once in that game a more real looking forest.
Darkfall-Yssam jungle sub continent in Agon name of world called in Darkfall.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
Darkness Falls- DAoC
I'm sure there are others that I may have liked a lil better, but this is the one that jumped right out..
Same here, Darkness Falls was the perfect mix of pvp and pve imo. There were prettier places in the game, but nothing that had the feel of good ol' DF.
Blackrock Mountain - WoW
That place seemed massive compared to what I had seen while leveling to 60. And then the first time in a full 40-man rain in Molten Core and seeing most of the guild in one place for the first time...ready to take on the HUGE trash mobs and bosses. Those were good memories.
A very nice topic
I must say Shadow fang keep in Wow. That was the first instance I ever been into and it was really mind blowing
The second must be Shire in Lotro. Almost as I had imagen it to be when I read the books in the youth
I7@4ghz, 5970@ 1 ghz/5ghz, water cooled||Former setups Byggblogg||Byggblogg 2|| Msi Wind u100
eq1-tie between lower guk and sebilis.
eq2-sinking sands
lotro- lone lands
age of conan-tortage
Jade Sea and Kaineng City (The whole location spanning several zones and outposts) in Guild Wars Factions. The most awesome town ever.
La Theine Plateau (sp?) Final Fantasy XI. Simply loved windy weather there.
The area of the big lakes in Ryzom. Soo preety especially when it's raining.
I forgot about some ruins near Dion in Lineage 2. It was a nice place filled with noobs back then..
The Dunes -FFXI
Windurst -FFXI
East/West Ronfar -FFXI

Same for me, except I'll substitute Sandy for Windy and add Qufim.
Deadmines - World of Warcraft.
Mustafar - Star Wars Galaxies.
Khem - Age of Conan.
The Desolation ( I think that was the name) - Guild Wars: Nightfall.
Sanctuary of Zi'Tah - FFXI (the music was amazing).
Ashenvale - WoW
Pre-Trammel UO the Yew gate. I mean WOW anyone else remember that mad dash to your guild house exploding potions, red mages waiting to bomb the first one across the gate! Whew getting to your front door just to realise somone is stealthed in your doorway lol. Miss that. Easily my favorite place in any MMO.
elemental plane of Air (pop expansion) - EQ
Ruins of Old Paineel - EQ
The Warrens - EQ (first mmo dungeon crawl and I lived there for about a month, was a blast way back in 2000)
Pantheon of the Ancients (pre-revamp) - Vanguard
Darkness Falls - DAoC: creeping around in there at max level and finding people who are killing mobs and murdering their healer and then the rest of them because they weren't paying attention...
Myrkwood Forest, Midgard realm, DAoC: When you would enter it, you knew exactly where you were. There were plenty of different mobs to fight in it and all of them were aggressive. It was dark, and foggy and dangerous, especially since the mobs in it would link like crazy and you'd have ~5 of them chasing you in no time.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
Brit Bank. - Ultima Online
SWG - Inside and outside the Mos Eiseley Cantina
