My main NA character lives in Vivec City. My main EU character lives in Daggerfall.
During the Elsweyr event, both of them moved to Rimmen. It was nice to spend some time in Rimmen, even if it was mostly to do daily crafting writs, go to the bank, go to NPC merchants to sell stuff, go to the outlaws refuge, and park my characters at the Sugar Bowl Suite when they weren't off earning their daily event tickets, working on the Pathfinder achievement, collecting skyshards, and otherwise running around Elsweyr doing quests and delves.
Now that the event is over, they've both moved back home. Rimmen is okay, but I still prefer Vivec City for crafting, because all of the stations, the turn-in location, the bank, and even the outlaws refuge are so close together. And even though Daggerfall is more spread out than Rimmen in that respect, I've been crafting in Daggerfall for so long that the running around is more of a familiar routine than a chore.
What about you?
Do you take up residence in a zone when there's an event there-- assuming you have housing in that zone-- or do you just take the wayshrines to get to the event zone each day and head back home after you're finished in that zone for the day?
And if you do take up residence in the event zone, do you stick around for a while after the event is over, or do you head back to your usual home zone?
I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!
