does Dark Astoria have any contacts?

No contacts in DA, unless they sneaked in in I13.
It's a tad misleading to compare it to Perez though - Perez is a hive of activity compared to DA!

Originally no Hazard zones had contacts.
The Hollows was the first Hazard zone with contacts.
I really should do something about this signature.

actually the Hollows is a Trial zone, not a Hazard zone.
The only Hazard zone to be given contacts is Faultline, but thats not a Hazard zone any more.
jbWarsmith out!
DA is a waste of server space. The idea behind the zone is interesting and it could have been a wonderful place. To bad they haven't remade the whole area like they did with Faultline.
I wouldn't call Dark Astoria a waste of server space. It gives Adamastor somewhere to live, and it's beautifully atmospheric.
I would say that:
<ul type="square">[*]it's a badly under-utilised zone[*]adding any significant quantity of content to it would probably lead to it either losing atmosphere or becoming roundly cursed for being the worst zone in the game to do the missions for[/list]
DCUO and CO will never see my money. The Citygame will keep seeing my money for as long as I keep enjoying it
I found that Cain Royce in Talos Island will send you into DA a lot but no actual contacts exist within the zone.
And yes, I'd love to see all that gothic architecture and gloom used for something as well.

I don't think it's beautifully made; looks nothing special to me. Half the zone is an abandoned city, and then it's crafted out of a mission map.
Revamp please.
DA is a zone with a lot of potential and i would love to see it be the next zone to get a make over

Along with Boomtown.
Or just have the Banished Pathenon invade Boomtown and the Clockwork invade Dark Astoria...that would be awesome. See a lot of arcs coming from that.
Not really the clocks and the banished don't really fight each other as neither have something the other faction want.
You could have a lovely mystical war between banished and CoT though as there's plenty of ill will between them you could even chuck in some renegade Mu to spice things up.
And for the love of god get rid of the bloody fog!!!

Nooooo! I love the fog! It's atmospheric and it's great to wander around the mist filled place, random spawns of Banished Pantheon suddenly looming out of the smoke. Aaargh! Nice and creepy and ten times more spooky than Croatoa. Even after three years, the feel of the area still creeps me out. I love my fog!

Never in a billion years - the fog makes the zone

DA without fog is Boomtown without ruins.
Fog stays. Please let them put flying mobs in there. Spectres or something, you shouldn't ever feel safe in the fog.....

This please! Not enough high flying mobs in the game. I'd love to see spectres lurching out of the mist at you. Hell yeah!

Anyone remember the bug that removed all the fog ? i spent a lot of time in there then, it's actually a very nice zone when you can see it, the hero statues are different from all the other statues in the game as well, they look like they are made of marble 
well as the heading asking, it it like preze park just add and seem to be forgotten in a way with out the contacts
