I’ll admit it’s easier for me since I’ve played since launch and the latest expansion deals with the “pre-Shattering” Erudite city/area of Odus, but really now. . . . .

I agree that the racial “suburbs/ghettos” in the 2 original cities aren’t all that great. OTOH, in Freeport, the Big Bend one (for ogres, trolls, and betrayers) is extremely well laid out. I’ve come to like Longshadow Alley also — laid out similarly to Big Bend and the dark elves there like to cheer at my (betrayed) high elves as they walk around.

Still and all…. Kelethin, Gorowyn,and Neriak are all much better starting zones and are single-shard cities to boot with no racial ghettoes to worry about and as such are much nicer.
