The reason Atlas's statue is the Blueside 'hangout' is because:
1- It's the first place the majority of new players zone in (soon to be only)Unfortunately, I think the closest thing you'll find to a hangout Redside is the BM in Cap. But that doesn't really stick out as a place newbies will be...
2- It's got a trainer
3- It's got stores
4- It's close to the tram
5- It's close to the base portal
6- It's close to AE
7- It's close to Wentworth's
8- It's close to the diff slider contact
9- It's got a roomy plaza, nice views, & mostly npc & enemy-free
10- It's quickly & conveniently accessible by all levels
Where is the Belltower, anyway? Is that the spot in the middle of the map with the goofy scientist contact? It's been so long since I've ventured to the Isles.
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
I know it's not practical, but I think villains need a place similar to AP. And yes, it's the place in the middle with the scientist.
If it's any help, come i21 villains will start in Mercy (as in the town). With the black market, an Arbiter, an AE building, and a new branch of Facemaker, the area containing the trainer may well be a good place to start this kind of thing up.
Thats it villians . . .. gather up in a small spot for an easy nuke mwahahahahahahaha
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
You may want to go look at the Belltower on Beta...

Sounds like Mercy would be a better solution then.
I'm just hoping that this will catch on so us villains can rival the heroes.

Just saw the new starting point screenshot on FB. Now this is something you can work with! I can already envision costume contests in the quad |

Looks like a better starting point than the current live starting point. Nice open space.

That looks like it could be damn good!
Don't suppose anyone's willing to join me at the quad helping others and trying to encourage others to hang out at the quad.
A quick thought popped into my head last night; wouldn't it be great if there was an area where villains hung out, sort of like Atlas Park? The Mercy Bell Tower would be great because it's right in the middle of Mercy Isle and there are no mobs. How do we get people to start gathering there, you ask? By example!
I only joined the game shortly after CoVs release so I didn't experience the rise of APs popularity first hand, but I imagine new players saw some higher level players just hanging around and eventually that caught on.
My proposal is this; At the Freedom launch, why not hang around the Bell Tower? (Unless you can think of a better location). The new players will see us hanging about and, if they've ventured to Blueside beforehand, will notice that it's similar to the Atlas statue in AP. Waddya say? Let's give villains a nice little hang-out to call their own
