It cannot hurt anything, good idea really!

Not unless it was during pre-launch Beta, I think. I don't remember it, and it's not on the maps in the original Prima guide to Issue Zero. Also, it would have to have been southwest unless they also rearranged the zones back then.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

What? No... southwestern Kings Row would link to Brickstown. The east wall of High Park in Kings Row, north of the "notch", is exactly where a gate to Perez Park should be. Take a look at the city map. You might be thinking of Steel Canyon.

I actually have a picture of the gate in question. It must be an old picture since I'm playing a warshade.
This reminds me of the picture I have of the old Faultline gate and the construction sites that became the Universities. They probably just forgot to slap a building down when they removed it.
I'd rather them revamp Perez to put some life in the zone before giving us another way to get to a deserted place.

Looking at the "world map" on Vidiotmaps, yes, there's a void there where you can see Kings and Perez "fitting together" initially. However, *gate* wise, they don't line up now. Galaxy city may be destroyed and inaccessible, but it's still *there.*
Unless there's a gate farther south in perez - which, if they did do a revamp, they might do - it wouldn't line up in any sensible way. Plus there's no actual GATE there. Just a checkpoint and a cement wall.
Bad enough Galaxy got destroyed. Let's not start pretending it never existed.

This times 1 million. I love what they did with Faultline, but I still think that Perez Park should have gotten the revamp treatment first. I love my mob bowling, but I would love to see all the hazard zones get treatment.

No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
There was a phantom gate along the wall at one point, way back in 2004. You could see it from afar, but when you got close enough to see it clearly, out came a piece descending road pile to block the door entirely. The only reason I could see the door was that it apparently rendered from farther away than the door did. I don't remember where it and I don't know if it's still there, but yeah, that existed

However, Galaxy was added before launch, and has been part of the game world since release (which, in-game, is forever). I agree, just because GC was destroyed isn't a reason to retcon it out of existence, although I wouldn't mind at all if it became a new level 50 hazard zone in the future, where we get to make a stand against the Shivans and the Storm, maybe even take it back.
I also agree that Perez (along with Boomtown and DA) desperately needs some new love from the devs.
