You know the "power failure" tag is pretty funny. I like it 
So why are you afraid to just post it instead of tagging it?
Dark Astoria.
Recluse's Victory.
That is all.

Actually the Horrorville sounds more like the Haunted House zone that was suggested a few times over the years. The second half tho reminds me of Boomtown and RWZ as far as appearances go.
And Power never said anything about PvP.

It's called 'Give Dark Astoria Content'.
/Unsigned
We've got too many zones sat empty Blueside to make this even close to worth it. And Villains, compared to Heroes, are swimming in 40-50 content. Like, you can get to 50 without having done half of the stuff available, and have to come back later.

Really? Last I checked Recluse Victory was a PvP zone. Or did I misunderstand why she chose to mention that zone?

Yes to Isla de La Muertos (redside, another thread that has come and gone)
Yes to adding content to DA.
Boomtown could use a little something too.

Thinking about it again, a revamp of DA should be easier than Faultline, since the geography is just fine (IMO) and wouldn't need to change. Just add contacts and storylines attached to said contacts.
Nothing for heroes. They already have too many zones. There are certain zones that need revamps though.
When i came to this thread i was thinking something like Gotham City at the end of Batman Begins. More like you described in Apocalypse City. Huge dark buildings, dark sky all the time, not many citizens (if so, hobos) It'll be the place where they thought they could have a good part but it just went downhill.
Enemies would be: Lost, Trolls, Infected, RIP here and there, Banished Pantheon, and Contaminated (from outbreak.)
That's the kind of zone i was thinking of. A Steel Canyon with a Dark Astoria feel.

If I owe Arctic an apology then she has it. (I hope I can explain why I came to my conclusion clearly) It just seemed to me that RV was not the appropriate zone to use because frankly most players don't use PvP zones so using it as an example of a zone that already exists that meets Powers suggestion felt inappropriate. I hope that makes sense about my train of thought and again If an apology is owed I offer it.|

Er - ok. Looks like I'm doing a bit of explaining.
First bit - I have no idea why Arctic_Princess mentioned RV, given it is a PVP zone, and I'm not trying to put words in AP's mouth. I'll let AP do any explaining there if needed.
Second - the "look what you quoted" was referring to you quoting me, not your reply to AP.
And third, with the quote that started this chain, I was poking at the lack of interest in PVP in this game by saying PVP was not a concern in naming RV, which is obviously a PVP zone.
*throws a jellybean at Forbin* Stop overanalyzing a one off smartaleck comment.
Hello, HE speaks! 
Seriously, where is that Dude is a Dude thread?!
Secondly, I mentioned RV because it has that whole apocalyptic feel about it. Regardless of it being PvP or whatever.
So Memphis Bill was correct to make the funny joke about PvP 
.
And before anyone says it - I'm not changing my global now on principle!

Heh. Lacking anything else, I'll go with the name's gender if it indicates one, and switch if corrected (and I remember. >.> ) |

Same thing happens with my main global. *shrug* Of course, I don't give it out all too often anyway. Just happened to be who I was playing when they introduced globals (and my first 50.)
Ah phooey. You'd think I'd be used to the taste of shoe leather by now.

Yup. Mine used to be @Chief Centurion Z1|

Then I got City of Villains. And all of a sudden it was @Techbot ALPHA
Still, it turned out for the best :P

No more new zones. We have too many that just sit there, empty.
Yes to more content. Especially to the zones that barely get used, such as Dark Astoria.
I though of something cool. I think there should be a dark city that looks vary creepy, and scary : D
Horrorville could be a level 50-40 zone (For Villains)
As a villain you have to show the most scariest villains who the real scary guy is.
It could be foggy with many dead trees all around. With broken down houses.
and creepy guys like.....

Apocalypse City-level 40-50 zone (Heroes)
I thimk it would be cool with a city falling apart. with the sky bring red and blue lightning. With a big wole in the middle of the city.
A powerful CoT or some other powerful magic user find a powerful gem or something and becomes god like. As heroes we must stop this evil force before it spreads to the other cities.
