Most of the LET events in the old monolith days involved or were centered around Mara C at least in part.  So a lot of older players hung around there.  When you combine that with the local mission contact, the club, decent missions and Mara NW ((best place in the world to gank people who go there to get rid of DE)).

Since other's see people hanging around Mara it created a chain.  In Vector this makes Mara the perverbial endless battleground.

Mara C and Stamos NW were so popular in Beta since they had Ability Vendors (which you could buy all abilities in the game from). After those were removed, only Mara lasted.

As many said there is past reasons...it was chosen by devs (well they started the trend) then the events where always there, then everything just developed from there. Also i agree with the best designed area of MXO.

And I don't. It's undoubtedly a great place with interesting structure and design, but please, come and convince me there aren't any place of equal quality in whole Mega City! And that even if only around hardlines.

He is from Vector, but look at his sig, he's zion. Hence the 'standing around'.


 


On vector, pvp can happen anywhere. I've fought battles in all districts. It's really more on the non-hostile servers that mara is the 'happening' spot. On vector, if you don't have the zerg, or you're not fighting those who do, Mara = death trap.

Mara's just the place you go when

1. You're bored and NOBODY is on.

2. You're about to jack out, so why not take a few down with ya.

One of the handbooks or guidebooks mentions hostilities in Mara.

Mara, Land of Spam, gateway to pvp, a virtual encyclopedia of truth and useful information...

Lets all make it our home!

I seriously think that it was just a habit that started in beta... I missed beta, so I can not confirm, nor deny such claims...
