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.

Valentine's Day Event 2006
During the 2006 Valentine's Day Event, Pocket D introduced three new contacts (Ganymede, Scratch, and DJ Zero) who were seeking the aid of heroes and villains for special missions. During these missions, heroes and villains could team together for the first time ever.
Second Anniversary Event
Pocket D was the site of the Second Anniversary Event's "Silver Age Party" on April 28, 2006. All characters were awarded a token to allow them to don a costume to pay homage to the Silver Age of comic books.
Cuppathon
The farewell party for the widely admired CuppaJo had several events in Pocket D, including the CuppaCloning costume contest.
Winter Event 2006
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.
Valentine's Day Event 2007

Notable NPCs

Stores

  • Bartenders
    • Some bartenders sell inspirations. One interesting point is that they are some of the only places to buy inspirations while engaging in a strike/task force, along with Arena Stores.
  • Arena Stores

Temporary

During the Valentine's Day Event 2006 and 2007, there were two bartenders in Pocket D, who sold temporary powers.

Neighborhoods

There are no neighborhoods explicitly marked on the Pocket D map. However, there are a few areas that are recognized as being different.

You've visited the floating truck in Pocket D.

Issue 8 added Pocket D Monkey Fight Club as a possible arena match location. In this particular arena there is an exploration badge, Cage Fighter.

Fighting in a nice big arena is one thing, but fighting in a cage is completely... different. Only the strong survive a cage match.

The Monkey fight club area also includes:

The 'Fambly', as Joe Young would call them, had been dipping their fingers into the RMFC for some time. As luck would have it, DJ Zero offered Joe and Cornelius a chance to expand their business venture. The Monkey Fight Club Arena and Pocket D are a one-two punch that will certainly be a knockout!

Transfer Points

Notes

Teleportation Teleport.png Dampening Field -Teleport
You are being affected by a Dampening Field. It seems unlikely you could teleport.
  • As of August 16, 2006, Teleporting is no longer allowed in Pocket-D.
    • This does not apply to the Ski Chalet area which is outside of the Dampening Field.
    • The entry way passage connecting either sides doors to the elevators leading to the dance floor are also exempt.
    • Pets (Powerset or Temporary Powers) and Henchmen set to aggressive near one of the corners of the dance floor in the main room of Pocket D will attack an invisible, invincible entity rumored to be the source of the dampener.
      • The exact coordinates of the source of the dampening field are - POS (-236.5, 0, -900.5), the npc generating it is named Dampening Field, and uses a model called NPC Puddle, it has 110 hp.
