While Empyreum is pretty popular on my server, I wouldn’t choose to live there or Goblet because it’s all stone with little to no nature features. Mist is mostly marble too… I mean Goblet and Empy have pretty mountain views but that’s about it. Put some more trees and water in there somewhere! Outside of Goblet’s pool and Empy’s hot springs, there’s barely even a fountain anywhere. What LB and Shiro have is lots of natural beauty, to the point where there’s no truly awful plots in those districts.

I doubt at this point that they’ll ever fully redesign the wards, but hopefully they keep preferences in mind when building the next residential district. Lots of people think it will be Old Sharlayan, and it could end up being really nice, but only if they balance out the nature scenery with the marble of the city’s hub. Otherwise it’ll be just another stone city, with little appeal outside of lore reasons.
