So a proposal for a new engine?
Not sure how feasible this is. Oh, wait, yes I am 
As much as new engines and the like are 'woo', City of... is not going to have a new one anytime soon (cue bizarre occurrence resulting in me eating an item of headgear whilst riding a flying pig).
I like ragdoll because, well, it's not realistic. If I'm going to be flying across a fictional city, arresting villains by putting 10,000 volts through them, then I couldn't care less if an NPC waves at me in a particularly realistic fashion.
I also wouldn't care for the lag / downtime as new system is implemented / whatever side effects of this kind of thing usually occur.
The OPs original topic, iirc, is that of events which can be currently implemented and are 'likely' in as much as the engine can do it.
I personally doubt time would be invested in doing this unless it somehow enhanced quality of life and gameplay. That doesn't mean I'm against the idea, far from it, it's just that there are more things the devs could do to make the game more special (Moonbase! 
).

I disagree with this. I believe that a brand new core would really spice up the game, particularly if it gives the devs more and simpler tools which can allow greater and more varied gameplay after it's implementation.

I think arctics comment regarding better use of dev time was vs the OPs suggestion and not a new engine.
If we want the dev's to spend time on new content everytime instead of grading the whole game / engine up to modern standarts we will get passed very fast my newer games.
I rather have the curent stuff updated then a new zone.

- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

I agree with this, I believe that upgrading the core will buy the time to reinvest in content.
I am not a fan of new zones, I prefer ideas which attempt to make existing content more interesting. The original post of this thread is one such idea.

Aye to that.
Personally, my little floaty cloud dream is that I15 (the coming storm) is in fact just that, a major overhaul. Its highly unlikely, I think.
But, if they could haul all current characters over to a CoX2, well...where do I sign?

Since we're moaning about how drab the city feels, I'll stick my oar back in.
Traffic levels are constant. During the ruch hours there should be masses of cars and at night, barely any.
Speaking of which, there is apparently no nightlife in paragon, no bars, no gigs, no parties, one deserted and exclusive nightclub, no drunks getting mugged as they stagger along the pavement holding each other up etc.
Since there is some interest in th OP idea, I'd like to clear some things up. The crowd idea was intended to be like a zone event except:
1) They are not limited to one zone.
2) There are NOT ALWAYS villains plotting to do harm.
3) The clues are (and I'm not 100% sure how this would work, so give me some slack) meant to sort of trigger the villain activity. Find a clue and moments (perhaps quite a lot of moments) later there's chaos at the Mets game.
