After a LONG contest, we reached the final two: Nagrand and Sholazar Basin. Both are basically the same zone but in a different expansion, what with the hunting quests, the wildlife, and the overall beauty and atmosphere, but in the end, only one could win, and with only eight votes, second place went to Sholazar Basin. It has some great music and the wolvar vs. murloc quest chain is pretty awesome, but in the end, it just can't compare to the winner. Nagrand is the first zone in Outland that REALLY feels like it's part of a story, rather than just "Okay, do this because you've gotta level up." It's a beautiful zone that really manages to capture some of the most bizarre and haunting aspects of Outland. And the Horde questline is one of the most amazing things ever, and I can't believe I missed it on my first playthrough of the zone.
