    In a sense, with SE having multi-cultural servers it would bring back the feelings of being in a 200 person max rank besieged in FFXI. Having someone from literally every corner of the world working together trying to bring down that main boss, and getting their asses kicked into oblivion. Truly was a ridiculously fun time.

    In XIV I could see a huge dragon flying over 1 of the main cities, and having sirens go off, or some sort of indicator allowing players to be informed of the situation. Then seeing a mass exodus of players out onto the field to battle with that big Dragon, or a Behemoth type giant.. could be anything. I would really love to see something like this.
    Yeah that would be amazing. Rift is doing that through "Zone Events". A message is broadcast to all players in the chat to say "Zone event [name] have started in the area [area_name]", so everyone can be informed and head there. It is also possible to check the status on your map. Like Besieged somewhat.

    And even better now, with the mobile application, you can even be notified of zone event without being logged in

    Ridiculously fun content, tied into the game utilizing new-age technology to notify subscribed customers via whatever mobile platform they choose, so that they don't miss out if they are afk!

    Mind would be blown.
