Just one comment: many of my characters don't go anywhere near their hometowns unless they have too. For instance: if I have an evil character, I tend to pick Arkham as a hometown only because my pit is out of the way (less chance of pit-looting) and once I'm higher in rank, you can get some decent gear from the guards (as opposed to anything near Galadon).
Cons? If you die as a lowbie it can take forever to get back to your corpse, and you're going to have to carry boats or fly potions around if you want to hang around your hometown.
But, as I said, I may pick New Thalos or Arkham as a hometown, and never step foot in them unless I die. Just because a place is your hometown doesn't the majority of your time, or *any* of your time, needs to be spent there.
