Expanding the game

I've been pondering ways to expand the game that wouldn't take "too much work" as compared to say building City of Villain or the Going Rogue expansion.

Things I've come up with are what I think is a little off the wall, but might be fun.

First. Expand the sewers. Don't just take the same map and repopulate it with higher level mobs. I'm talking something that would have a bit of story behind it. But the end result would be expanding the sewers into the higher level zones. Stash some secret labs down there and the like. One part that came to mind was a long draw out tunnel running between an area like Steel Canyon and Croatoa.

Second. Have the portal technology stolen from the hero side to open up the Firebase Zulu maps to Villains. I also remember hearing about villains supposedly being able to go fight Hammidon. What ever happened to that?

They don't do it co-op. They fight Hami in The Abyss, a zone connected to Grandville.

Technically, that already exists. Not exactly the same as what you're suggesting, except that it has a story behind it, and according to the lore it runs beneath Steel Canyon (no zone connection though).

It would be nice to see a little more bulk to mid-game though, something a bit more interesting than "random normal guy hanging out on a street corner is your contact".

I know about the higher level copy of the sewers with doors right as you enter the existing sewers. I'm just was wishing for an expansion with reason.

I had completely forgotten about the Abyss. Probably because I've never been in there. I haven't heard people yelling "Let's do a Hammi raid" over on the Villain side all that often

Protector has been doing villainside Hamidon raids with increasing regularity, as seen in this thread

Next one is tomorrow.
