Because Pocket D is ran by DJ Zero, and it's up to him if an AE terminal goes in there.

I thought this post was about Energy Aura. EA not AE.

There's too many damn EA buildings anyway. Do we really need one in every single city zone?

We don't know. A Dev has not spoken to repeated requests to put a MA terminal in Pocket D. They are aware that's what we'd like.

My personal theory is they'd rather keep Pocket D as a social zone rather than filling broadcast with folks recruiting for teams (or looking for 'em).

This isn't just for the sake of RPers or anything, because social areas serve a function beyond strict RP. My SG often meets in the D - not for RP, just chat and stuff. Player-run radio station DJs frequently host shows from the D. Folks use the place for events. And so do the devs, really.

Yeah, there's team recruitment and such in Pocket D during Valentine's and Christmas, but that's seasonal. Different. Maybe they want to keep the D clear of such things under normal operations. Mind, this is just my opinion. Totally groundless speculation.

Actually, there's a legitimate reason for wanting one in Pocket D: so that heroes and villains can run co-op arcs below level 35.

I was surprised that they put them all over the city like they did, and I'd agree that we could use a few less than they put out there. I'd say that three or so each side, plus one in Pocket D, would be enough.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they put one in Pocket D and took it out of the Rikti War Zone. It doesn't make sense to me that such a thing exists in basically a militarized area, and it's only there to allow for the mechanics of running co-op arcs. Such a thing would make more sense to me in Pocket D, which is kind of an entertainment-themed zone to begin with.

*shrug...* Oh well, they didn't call and ask my opinion on that, and it's not really that important to me. Still, if I were a betting man, I'd put money on there being an AE terminal in Pocket D within an issue or two. Oh, wait! I am a betting man! Who'll take me up on it?
