I wanted to find a new spot to afk today besides my guild hall (much too boring). I wanted something peaceful and that's when I remembered Amnoon Oasis. I mapped there, and immediately I remembered the good old days 3 or 4 years ago when I still pve'd regularly. I remembered all the fun times I had. I love Amnoon Oasis because of the scenery and amazing music it has there.
So I ask you GWG, what is your favorite town/outpost and why?
Whats your favorite town/outpost
Angelus...

Anywhere on Faction's noob island - Love the music
Deldrimore War Camp - Remembering the best time in guild wars; also the best update in guild wars....ever

The Kodash Bazaar, I like the detail of the town and good times when the trade contract market was good.
The Real Avalon
Yeah. Factions noob island was awesome to me. Loved the scenery, environment, beasties and the music. Good times.
Garreth MacLeod
It's hard to pick just one favorite. I enjoy many of them. Amnoon ranks right up there near the top along with Shing Jea, the Henge, Beacon's Perch, etc.
Skiasca
For me its Seafarers rest in the Jade Sea, the music of the Luxon area is calming, plus all the lanterns, banners and beaded deco is very funky 
I also love Maguuma stade, since it is bypassed very frequently, I didnt know it existed till i started mapping the area around it.

undead living
presearing ^^ scenery is awesome there.
Jade Zephyr
Probably Amnoon Oasis.. I still go there regulary and its a nice place.
Xiaquin
I like a lot of the southern shiverpeaks, actually, reminds me of the old days. I still get goosebumps listening to the music. I also like far off places very few people go out of the way to map.
Del
lair of the forgotten.
zelgadissan
Tarnished Haven - between Shing Jea Sherman and Mhenlo's dancing, you can't go wrong.
Lanier
My favorite without a doubt is Ice Tooth Cave. It is isolated, which is nice, but its got really awesome scenary with all of the snow and the stalagmites and cave walls and stuff. Its just a really all together cool looking place.
Angelus...
Good answers so far. I forgot to add that I totally love Fisherman's Haven!
Lord Dagon
i love amataz basin or a close second would have to be breakers hallow.
they're both so nice and buetiful that you just cant help and drop by when ur afk/not doing anything.
(also typically no one is ever in amataz just due to the lack of people knowing where it is. I tested out of KISS how many people could find me w/ riddles. about 98% of the people there hadnt even heard of amaztaz basin.
oh well i guess it gets to be my outpost then

Maatu Keep. It's my own little fortress ^^
Horace Slughorn
Serenity Temple.. cause it's, well... serene.
Thrilla Killa
Ember Light Camp is my favorite place. Calming lava is relaxing.
Marty Silverblade
The Granite Citadel. Southern Shiverpeak outposts in general, really.
Kityn
Henge of Denravi. Has quite a bit of character in that Town. I like the performing stage there.
makosi
Maguuma Stade!
It's remote, quiet and desolate.

Zaishen Elite >_>
Thadius Invictus
I like Yaks; I still remember the feeling I got in week one when my guildies and I finally got out of Ascalon and wondering if we were close to the end of the game. BOY, were we ever surprised. It still holds a warm place in my heart and it has one of the few remaining arenas.

Maguuma Stade. Little did we know when Prophecies first came out that this beautiful outpost was only a hop, skip, and a jump from Rata Sum and all the wonderful adventures of Magus Stones and Riven Earth. All of the jungle outposts were sort of magic to me, really.
Problem with this question is that there are just so many excellent outposts that deserve great praise. The artists who worked on GW really put themselves into it and it shows.

Fishermen's haven for me.
Mustache Mayhem

Even though i practiclly live in Lions Arch nowadays my fav spot for organizing storage and just chillin out is Port Sledge in the shiverpeaks or Grotto cause of the cool snare effect it has when you enter. always thought that was cool.
Chronos the Defiler
Old favorite pre-eotn would be Marhan's Grotto, then once EotN came out, Gadd's Encampment (because the river is just like one where I used to live)
Divine Ashes
For nostalgia purposes I'd have to say Deldrimor War Camp, but for set up and scenery and such, I'd say Henge of Denravi for me

My favourite outposts are any of the Shing Jea Island ones and Bai Passu Reach (it rains there).
There are a couple in the Crystal Desert I like as well.
cellardweller
Warrior's hall - every npc you need within spitting distance of each other.
PuppyEater
Brauer Academy, although Im a sucker for any part of the Echovald, the art team did a fantastic job with it...
poisonsoup
kaineng city

Sanctum Cay - I had the amazing luck of meeting, not one, but two, beautiful, russian teenage girls there over the years. Just me and them on a quiet, weekday, afternoon with the lads (H&H).
One of them is still one of my very best friends in the whole world. My wife found out about the other.

tho it used to be nicer before they moved the chest to the island .... why did they do that?
A few years ago there was a nice community out there too.
