    I would rather live on the top of the tallest mountain.  For the views.  Both for looking out over the lands and to be closer to the mysteries beyond our grasp, the stars above.

    Gotta go with the mountain, though I am a big fan of deep sea adventures. But you have a lot of options with the mountain. You can oversee the land as far as the eyes allow, explore paths, caves and other things. And when you finish all that, as is law in any MMORPG, you can, and must, jump off of that mountain.

    Well I plan on maining a Drawf so I have to say on top of the mountain, I want to find all the richest gems, and minerals and I can gind. Plus, it keeps my beer cold all the way up there so that's a bonus.

    Under water - Maybe hook up with some hot mermaid.   There are mountains under water too.  So on a mountain under water.

    I hope she's the other kind of mermaid with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom.

    Mountain top. Yodeling, alphorn... what’s not to love. Underwater is just bubbles and drowning.

    As far as a place to live goes, Tallest Mountain. The solitude and isolation, peace and tranquility of it.

    Underwater would be fun to visit, like if my friend lived down there i'd visits quite often.

    Underwater. So much ocean that hasn't been explored. Who knows what's down there? I want to know!

    Mountaintop, definitely.  Not much of a deep water fan myself.  Who wants to live in a place where dead fish, whales, etc constantly sink down into your yard mucking up the place.  Mountains give you fresh air, beautiful vistas, skiing..what's not to like?  Besides, nobody has ever sought out an old guru at the bottom of some icky lake or sea.  No, they go to a mountaintop.

    Mountaintop for sure.  Would be awesome to see all of Terminus from up there and also there's usually some Epic Dragon at the top as well.  Would be a sight to see as long as I could keep some distance from them.

    Underwater. It gives a different perspective on the world & the color blue. #Communitymatters

    There are technically mountain tops underwater...soo underwater. Plus...underwater is way bigger than the land...who knows what is down there.

    i have to go with mountain, simply because I am not a water person.

    I would rather live on a mountain top/ within a mountain cave system. There are many reasons why including the field of view, dragons/other mythical monsters that call the peaks and caves their homes, and snowy landscapes. 

    However, the biggest reason why I would prefer a mountain over the ocean is I can not stand underwater combat. I have yet to see a game make this type of environment fun from a combat perspective. WoW tried to explore this area by dedicating a whole underwater zone in Cataclysm. I'll admit that it was cool to explore the dark depths of the ocean and the deeper that you progressed through the zone the darker it got leading to a constant fear of something lurking in the depths. However, combat in this environment was extremely clunky. It was difficult to judge correct ranges, melee mobs would come at you and start fighting on top of you, AOE spells couldn't be placed within the water and instead had to be placed on the ground which meant that pulls had to be brought down to the seafloor, AOE spells also failed to take in verticality of players/enemies which was a nightmare for group healing. I think GW2 also tried to improve on the underwater combat situation and they implemented situational underwater weapons, however, these didn't make any headway in terms of the clunky combat.

    Yes, though I was more directly referencing a Futurama quote. :P

    Never liked under water zones. Also a mountian just because of the sky alone. Sunrise and Sunsets and of course clouds, I could watch clouds all day long.

    Live underwater of course as a Dark Myr. 

    For anyone thinking otherwise....... Go get Scuba Certified. It is an awesome experience to be under water for 45+ minutes at a time experiencing a whole new world.
