Orgrimmar and Stormwind on a par with real cities?
Seattle, New York, LA, London...
Azeroth? The latest addition to city-specific blog site Metroblogs' line-up is none other than our favourite virtual
destination. Although there's not much on the site at the moment (watch out for NSFW language in the first link), it's
an interesting move to consider.Only a few of Metroblogs' other locales -- including London, New York and Istanbul -- have a higher population than Azeroth, although some would say there are big differences between a real urban population and an online game's subscriber base. We, of course, welcome those who think WoW is diverse enough to merit a dedicated blog, but it's going to be interesting to see how "metroblogging" a virtual world controlled by a single entity compares to a real live city.

"Only two of Metroblogs' other locales -- London and New York -- have a higher population than Azeroth"
Well, as far as I know Istanbul, which Metblog I write for, has a higher population than both London an New York, so this can?be entirely true. I would also be surprised if at least one of Indian cities didn't outcompete all the mentioned in this regard (but this I haven't checked).
But that's just nitpicking.

Oops, I completely missed that on the list. I'm no geographer, as you can tell :) Thanks Sven!
