Here is my little story. I wanted to be Legolas so I created an archer in Syrtis unfortunately I'm not good with typo/spelling and I ended up with "dracus" as a nickname. I got bored around level 16 pet kept dying every 2 mob I was attacking and I changed my mind and decided I wanted to be Gandalf so I started a mage. And again typo/spelling made me end with "Sacapus". Then at level 10 I started to be greedy and want to own power so I wrongly click on become a warlock... Looks like real life story a sequence of mistakes

Otherwise I wanted an archer and Wood-elf looked to be the perferct race for that. Now knowing the three inner realms I'd say Syrtis is still more appealing, then it's Alsius (very nice innitiation zone with the lost Vahlalla), and last is ignis (which offer a very poor landscape).

More seriously, I think the wood elves are appealing to people because they looks like the good guys (Legolas thingie thing). The video make syrtis looks like the good guys, Ignis looks like the evil necromant allied with a bunch of bruglars, and Alsius looks like the greedy dwarf allied with the freak goats (I love goats character, even in WoW but that's how it looks from the introduction video).
