A while ago Guardian Witness ran an assignment to share your favourite virtual cities :

We want to hear about your best-loved virtual places – from a beautiful view in GTA V to that 20-million-strong SimCity megalopolis you’ve been building (or possibly destroying). What would be the best video game cities to live in? The worst? Perhaps you’ve designed one you think would be better than your own city? Share your screengrabs and we’ll feature the best on Guardian Cities.

Well virtual worlds were always likely to feature here and Second Life certainly gets a good mention. There are OSGrid places there too. However one that caught my eye this evening was Whisperdale Village.

Cranston Yardstorm described Whisperdale village as :

My wife, Shaylin, and I decided to create a medieval Tudor city on our sim. Sitting on top of our cave venue, you can enjoy a brew in the tavern or try your hand at spinning wool in the tailors shop, We hope you enjoy visiting Whispering Windz and our medieval city.

Unfortunately my visit coincided with a strange green gaseous storm, which infiltrated my snapshots! However, the place is quite beautiful.

Whereas Whisperdale Village caught my eye, the extended area is known as Whispering Windz and features some gorgeous scenery, statues, caves, rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

There’s a bonus too, you can shoot the rapids there!

I’ve seen the work of Cranston Yardstorm before so I’m familiar with a location with Cranston’s designs that suit my tastes. My tastes largely being statues, tudor villages, a tavern and rivers!

However the scenic location should appeal to more people than me ….. I hope!

This is an elegant location in which you could spend time with someone or simply chill and lounge around. I did not encounter any Elves or Halflings on my visit, so on first glance, it does seem to be Dwarfin friendly. However always keep your eyes open, those buggers can appear out of nowhere!
