Recovering Ala Mhigo Sever-Wide event a possibility?

I also love this idea!

I agree. This would need simultaneous key events going at the same time through different zones to split up the total people both to keep them from feeling left out and to make it a bit more immersive.

I thought how they handled the opening of Sunwell or perhaps the gates of Ahn'Qiraj might work well for this. SE has already displayed their phasing technology in this game so it should be technically possible.

This sort of reminds me of what they did in the Wings of the Goddess expansion in FFXI, where you had regions that could be conquered by certain nations, and if not maintained, could then be reclaimed by the beastmen. It might be cool to have an area like Ala Mihgo where you would need to continually fight to maintain a hold of the area. Bonuses could be awarded if you did, like NPCs in town that offer hard to get items that aren't available if it's taken over. Sort of like a much larger scale of the hive FATE in Quarrymill, but with a whole chunk of the map instead, and a grander scale. I actually liked the WotG conquest fights, and you had a little country rivalry too because it took into account how many areas were controlled by specific countries.... they could easily do the same thing here but with the city-states.

I actually made a post similar to this in the beta forums talking about potential future content. I like the idea of liberating ala mhigo then rebuilding. My idea was once its freed that theres nothing left but rubble and we would have to continue doing quests and events to rebuild it. Everything from battle content to crafting and gathering involved. Once certain goals are met you may see a few tents pop up with a vendor or two etc... until its finished and is a complete city state with all the stuff others have plus maybe more. Like the only way to unlock new classes in that city is to complete it enough so there will be a new guild hall built etc...

it does not have to be on the SAME ZONE.... just events server and world wide towards a common goal

Totally down for this.

This is an interesting idea

Too interesting. Too much stress. Sorry

I think there are tons of other problems to fix before adding some big useless events.
Not to mention the server downtime that you will have in exchange of this event (megacrash of everything).

Perhaps as an event leading up to whatever expansion where we actually go to Ala Mhigo, but I doubt that'll be anytime soon.
