- It's always empty
- It's completely out of the way (which explains the emptiness i guess)
- It's not exactly pretty or exciting when compared to Silvermoon for example
- It's spread on way too much ground. too much emptyness.
In short, it's the moonglade of cities.
Well, they were built by the same people.
I'm not exactly a fan of Night Elf architecture. It always seems like they let little kids design treehouses and just sent an adult around with a hammer to make sure they'd be sturdy.
The atmosphere in the city is a quiet and somewhat a melancholic one. It does not have the feeling of confinement that one feels in Stormwind or Ironforge, where the buildings are grouped close together. Darnassus is open to the sky, and the graceful bridges spanning the lake around which it is built set the buildings wide apart. The prime reason why the city's population is so low is that it is isolated: Teldrassil is a small island away from the main mass of Azeroth, and the only way to gain access from another continent is to fly or sail to Rut'theran Village, a small settlement at the base of Teldrassil, and from there step into the glowing portal to the city proper. This is a good thing, though. It is the elves' capital, and should therefore be serene and quiet, holding the mystic and melancholic elements of the night elves.
I like the ambiance of the city though, but it seems to be the Silvermoon of the Alliance in that no one ever populates it because it's not a central hub of anything. It's got a cool look, but low utility.
