In August of 2006, the special [[Tiki Room]] was added to Pocket D. This room was initially unavailable to players. Some players managed to gain access to this room via the [[Teleport]] power. After screenshots of this room were posted on various message boards, the ability to Teleport inside Pocket D was removed.

In October of 2006, the Tiki Room was made available to players who had purchased either the [[Good vs. Evil]] Retail Box Set in stores or the Online Pack from the NCsoft Store.

Overview

Pocket D is a first rate night club occupying a self-contained pocket dimension created from nothing by DJ Zero. Pocket D is a no-fire zone where Heroes and Villains can mingle safely. Pocket D opened up after the hero-only Paragon Dance Party shut down.

Apart from the Rikti War Zone and Cimerora, Pocket D is one of the only other zones in which Heroes and Villains can team together. Several special events have introduced special missions that could be run by mixed teams of heroes and villains, including a few missions that required teammates from both sides.

The Tiki Room and the Ski Chalet are both located in Pocket D. The Tiki Room can only be accessed by Pocket D VIP Gold Club Members, and the Ski Chalet is only accessible during special events.

Pocket D also features the Monkey Fight Club, Arena terminals, and a branch of the Vault Reserve.

Events

Pocket D has been a key location during several special events.

Cuppathon
The farewell party for the widely admired CuppaJo had several events in Pocket D, including the CuppaCloning costume contest.
Anniversary Events
Many anniversary events include a party with Red Names in Pocket D, whether on the "Live Servers" or the Training Room (Test Server). Themes may or may not be in effect; when a theme is announced, there is typically a costume contest with prizes given out by the developers.
Valentine's Event
The 2006 Valentine's Event introduced missions from contacts that temporarily appeared in Pocket D. For the first time ever, Heroes and Villains could team up. Every year since, the Valentine's content has repeated, sometimes with expansions on the details.
Winter Event
The 2006 Winter Event introduced the Ski Chalet, from which Father Time asked both heroes and villains to save Baby New Year. Heroes and villains could team together for his missions. Every year since, the Winter content has repeated, often with expansions on the details.
