Favorite starter zone
I like Wayfarer Foothills because of the absolute stunning visuals, the music, and all the constant events!
It’s also much easier to navigate.
The fact Maw was nerfed kinda upsets me a bit, but it’s still my favorite starter zone.
metrica province :P lush jungles!
Wayfarer Foothills
Worst is undoubtedly plains of ashford. No direction whatsoever, unless you’ve previously been through the area you’re going to go the wrong way and wonder why you’re suddenly facing enemies 3-6 levels ahead of you. Plus it’s the only starter area with no Meta Event.

metrica province. The proginies are awesome
Caledon Forest then Queensdale. Its funny, so far the 2 mentioned in this thread (Wayfarer and Metrica) are my absolute least favorite.
Wayfarer and Queensdale. I really really didn’t like the other 3. I would have rated Wayfarer number 1 in the past, but after the Maw timer increase I think Queensdale is the best overall.
From favourite to worst:
Caledon Forest>Metrica Province/Wayfarer Foothills>Queensdale>Plains of Ashford.

Wayfarer Foothills is definitely my favorite. They did an amazing job on all of the Norn zones.
Second favorite would probably be Queensdale.
Caledon Forest, easily (even though I don’t play any sylvari). I love the giant plants and psychedelic colours! Wayfarer foothills second because of the bunny area.
Despite all my characters being asura, I only rate metrica province third – it’s got some great areas and architecture, but not enough to be at the top.
Queensdale has some nice areas (like the swamp), but otherwise nothing special. Plains of Ashford is my least favourite.
Caledon Forest or Plains of Ashford
Metrica Province>Queensdale>Plains of ashford> Caledon forest>Wayfarer Foothills
Metrica Province, love it, so much going on there.
I’m torn between Caledon and Wayfarer’s. Wayfarer’s reminds me of home (actually all of the Shiverpeaks reminds me of home). And Caledon is just beautiful and a joy to walk around in.

Caledon Forest is my favourite! I just feel so relaxed there, the beaches and jungles and wierd giant plants everything about it is colourful eye candy.
I really hate plains of ashford though, charr buildings are hidious, there’s too much brown and yellow and there’s shooting everywhere as well as horrible scrappy bits of metal.
Queensdale

I love Caledon. When I rolled my first character, a Sylvari, I was pretty much like her… just gazing in awe at the beauty of my new world. Fantastic place.
After that its Queensdale, then Wayfarer, then Metrica, then Ashford. To me, the Asura tech feels out of place and everything about the Charr is ugly and uninspiring.
