Why was Stormwind chosen by blizzard to be the human city in World of Warcraft?

there were better options, such as Stromgarde, or Kul Tiras. What was the reason blizzard chose Stormwind?|||Kul'Tiras isn't a very large city in perspective to stormwind.



Stromgarde probably due to gameplay reasons as it'd be too close to undercity.
