A flat out attack on Paragon city by Arachnos. With Lord Recluse AV fights.  3.) A water zone complete with Coralax empire. 4.) The Mu reborn. 5.) The Rikti and Kheldians pooling their skills together with us helping us create a Moonbase to investigate "Suspicious activity" on the Moon. 6.)

The Banished Pantheon returning in earnest. 9.) Gods making an appearance. Threatened by the appearance of so many superhumans, the Gods of the old pantheons return to stake their claim over humanity once again |
2) Unless it was an Arachnos occupation of the city, it would only be a "zone event," not world-spanning.
3) Per BABs, there will never be an underwater zone.
4) The Mu are still around, it is the Oranbegans that need re-birthing.
5) The Armstrong Lunar Facility and Gagarin Orbital Platform have already been mentioned (on these boards, by Positron) as being a part of the CoX universe. Also, rocket pads have been under construction in parts of Paragon and the Rogue Isles for quite some time.
6) Like the Rikti assault on Portal Corps in the Rikti War Zone arcs? Or possibly the incoming Praetorian assault thereon in Going Rogue?
7) That would have to be done via Orobouros, as the Rikti war had a rather high casualty rate on Midnighters. So, it would be a three-mission mini-arc.
8) This would fall under #9, actually.
9) Any number of ways this could happen. The cruel goddess Hequat of the nation of Mu does make one appearance in the game so far. Also, of course, the prospect of the 'Incarnate' origin should be accompanied by some kind of world-shattering event.
Of the ideas you posted, only the last is something that I think is interesting and worth exploring. The rest have, well, already been done, are in the process of being done, or will never be done.
Things I would love to see, putting a little spin on some of your ideas:
1) An alternate dimension with Arachnos (1960's version) occupying Paragon City.
2) The Midnight Squad building needs to be a time-travel hub, with travel to, say, the 1930's, the 1950's, the Renaissance, et cetera.
3) The Dream Doctor and his power over Rularuu the Ravager would be great for exploration. In fact, the entire Shadow Shard could use a revamp.
4) Finish rebuilding Boomtown, and turn it into a spaceport for travel to the Moon and the Space Station. Let's get some Green Lantern style bad guys.
5) Let the Coming Storm actually come and wreck some of the City.
6) A zone like Recluse's Victory, but in Paragon, and having the Hamidon reclaiming part of the city for nature. A PvE zone with missions and public parts to change the zone.
Just a few of my ideas.

-Don't just rebel, build a better world, comrade! Thanks for the feedback Smersh. Those ideas were to grease the wheels so to speak to influence to outpouring of more ideas, such as the ones you just mentioned. Thank you.
You pay to play. Having fun is ok. Kill Skuls or kill Crey. Hunt at night or in the day. Black or white or shades of grey. Play it your way. We have no say.

You have some great ideas Silas, really like them. One question though, why will we never have an underwater environment? Why do they say never on some things? I realize it is tied to what they can or cannot do, but just curious.
I'd like to see more regional zones or a "Round the World" theme and take us away from East Coast USA.
Ideas include:
1.) Alps, Himilayas, or Mountaious Region. Could include some shifts in snow cover, so that the lower elevations are not covered in snow like the higher elevations. If it's a European Mountain, there could be an expanded Malta, Crey, Council/5th colomun base. Asain Mountains could include an expanded roll for the Tsoo, maybe trying to invade a hidden Shangra La, and a Yeti Giant Monster.
2.) Bayoue or Tropical forest Region. Maybe a mad scientist is using it as an expanded area or maybe something akin to a Brotherhood of Mutant-esque group's base camp (I think our Mutie bad guys are really lacking). Perhaps Outcasts can be filled out.
3.) South West desert lands. Maybe there is an area 51 thing going on for more Kheldian/Rikti stuff or a secrete Super-Soldier program gone horribly wrong. Or expanding on the time travel, make Wild West signature heroes with a high noon show down with that good for nothin' low life Recluse and his nasty vermants.
4.) Would also be cool to have an "Around the World" zones that are explicitly stated to be large cities in other countries.

Secondly, I'm sure there is a discussion some where where BaBs explains why. But my guess would be the physics engine. You can always look it up though.

I've got one... Mother Nature strikes and we actually get some weather changes in PC and the Isles! Oh, and I know that the Isles are all villainous and all, but a little sunlight and a break in the clouds wouldn't be a bad thing.

BABs is personally against trying to make an underwater zone look good with this game engine. He also thinks Aquaman sucks. Which he does.
I think people going to Praetoria is a little world spanning, especially if people can switch sides or work on both sides at the same time with a little more allegiance to one side...
Oh wait, that's the plot of Going Rogue (as far as we know so far)
I would NOT want to see an underwater zone. Closest to underwater I'd want to see is a dome laboratory or something underwater, but not your characters actually underwater. I know a cheap way would be everyone flies underwater, but still that'd look too fake. I'd rather them concentrate on land rather than throwing us under water.

Aquaman sucks?
I think not.

You know why Aquaman is really cool? That sea turtle is still there to this day.
/e nods knowingly.
A Hollow world/Lost world jungle setting maybe? An evil saurial race! Mind controlled dinosaurs! A plot to resurrect a dead god which might destroy the planet!

This!! They have been 'underconstruction' for a loonngg time -- part of plans but scrapped? hehe -- For some reason GR doesn't seem geared toward something like this, but I hope I am wrong| 5) The Armstrong Lunar Facility and Gagarin Orbital Platform have already been mentioned (on these boards, by Positron) as being a part of the CoX universe. Also, rocket pads have been under construction in parts of Paragon and the Rogue Isles for quite some time |
*Boomtown needs help! Such a deadzone
Underwater/Monsters?? What is this Champions?? Cool ideas but not for this game IMO
Deserts also fall under that... but still cool
-- Still though a 'wilderness' zone would be really nice addition.
-- Weather!! weather in the Preatoria, City, and Isles would be awesome!
-- A new hybird zone PvE AND PvP - Heroes can team with villains to complete missions and PvP together. Basically a freezone -- this would be sooo awesome
More content dealing with the ShadowShard would be nice -- Those zones are awesome and no one uses them >_>
City/Isle -wide invasions would be cool - anyone remember council/5th column?
Zone events are always fun when they aren't over done >_> Maybe different types of rewards (buffs etc) would be cool in addition to badges/powers, similar to what you see in Warburg
Localized events in zones are also cool - like the miner strike and the trolls... More of these would be fun -- kind of builds with some other things listed here
There is a lot they can expand on - a lot

Boomtown being brought back would be fantastic.
Perez Park seeing some police presence would be nice.
Dark Astoria seeing more use would be nice, perhaps a revamp like the Hollows and Faultline.
More in zone events and GMs would be great. To many zones don't have anything going on.
Like I mentioned before, Praetorian invasion of PI/Portal Corp.
Galaxy City is underused. Perhaps a unique zone event would help its deadness. Everyone flocks to Atlas for some reason...
Shadow Shard revamp/Rularuu breaking free or fighting back. Great zone and idea, not enough effort making it more accessible. Perhaps making it neutral ground? After all, if the CoT can break in, why can't the Destined Ones?
PvP overhaul. It's just not fun. I see people text fight all the time, this is just sad.
Terra Volta reactor event, players have to beat the clock or the city is doomed!
Mentioned before, The Coming Storm. Just give Silos something new to cry about.

I would love more "mundane" zone events that give rewards, when playing Blueside i always want to help the citizens that are being mugged and stuff - but the mobs being grey and the amount of crimes going on makes it pointless, when you're in the zone's lvl range the rescued NPCs even give you a small reward such as influence or an Inspiration.|

I'd like to see something similar done using the Rikti Invasion Mechanics, with the critters scaling to your lvl - it would be nice to do some random heroics (or villainy!) and get some small rewards for them!
