I noticed the armor shop doesn't carry Settler armor, it carries a different low-level armor. If the gun shop had a different selection, say they carried a low-level cannon, or BLP weapons instead of lasers, then players would visit just to buy them...

good point

but theres one thing they could add to help hades

WEEKEND MARKETS:

leeses are buyable on acution from MA and allow the lease of a stall from 9pm EU time friday to 9pm eu time sunday. After this point the leese expires and goes back on the auction for next weekend.

Gives smaller players the chance to experience owning a shop and gives thema chance to get rid off their looted goods while offline.
Ownership would change hands every week of who owns what stalls.
MA would only profit from the leese sales and nothign else.
Would get more people to hades for the "weekly market"

Come on Ma give us what we want

I think the solution to this problem is going to be player initiated. Fluke is on to something by making actual incentive to go there. Maybe a society is in order to make Hades a destination rather than an oddity; a society to encourage trade, crafting, and hunting in the area. Hades isn't much of a place for noobies at the moment, but a society encouraging more population in Hades would mean more people present to help out those in orange. I'm going to submit a society now that will encourage growth in Hades to make it the city it should be. If anyone is interested, look up Hadesheim Restoration Society (HRS) in the society terminal.

specia urban pk zone..
and there could be also amphitheatre somewhere in Hadesheim.. As special pk zone for melee lovers.. before an audience and with possibility of setting bets

maybe PK Tournaments, winners get collected % from all tickets/bets whatever..?
could be interesting to watch matches and bet on fighters

I've been thinking about this subject recently and agree that if a society or even an individual had control of the city then it could prosper.

My own thoughts on the city itself:-

It requires a redesign, perhaps retaining the Hadesheim C teleporter but making the park area around it smaller.

There are three bridges leading away from Hades C. Maybe one should lead to an open area with Revivals, Storage, TT, auction, etc. Another could lead to the market (which should be relocated as part of the re-design). And another could lead to an existing area of the city where PvP has been enabled for events (a top idea and +rep when I read back to see who first suggested it).

I'd think that appartments would need to be available in close proximity to each of these three areas, in a similar style to the appartment towers on Amerthera. This would give people a place locally to store large amounts of items.

One thought that might be greated with indifference would be the removal of unsightly city walls that would be replaced by a wide, deep, water-filled moat that would keep mobs out. Perhaps this moat could be incomplete south of the city, allowing the occasional Spider into the city.

An idea that might be unpopular would be the placement of a limited number of hangars within the city. Another reason for people to visit, even if they are just passing through.

Finally, an idea that might be me getting ahead of myself. A PvP stadium within the city. I realise there are server/lag issues connected with this but if the event area was isolated on one server and the participants were unable to see the non-event areas (somehow, this is one for the boffins at MA to fix up), while at the same time spectators entered a "spectator mode" where they could only watch the event and nothing else around them then maybe it would work.

And what kind of events could such a stadium host? PvP with guns is obvious, perhaps in the style of Paintball, for those of you familiar with that. En-knuckle boxing in a ring, in a similar style to the Queensbury rules. Or gladiator style events - top ubers one-on-one against Spiders and other nasty beasts.

Just my own thoughts on the matter.
