Revival of the Monster Mash?

I know it's been about 2 years since I was last an active part of the community. And, I am sure that many things have changed in those times. I notice that Triumph doesn't do much in the way of PvP anymore or Hamidon Raiding. But, perhaps we can revive something I used to host: The Monster Mash.

What is (or was) the Monster Mash?

To summarize, it was a fun little event where the community would gather to have some fun taking down the giant Devouring Earth monsters found on good old "Monster Island."

It used to be a hero-side event, but, now that villains have access to a similar version of "Monster Island", we can host some events on both sides. (Too bad there isn't a co-op zone for it!)

What are the benefits?

As far as I know, the main benefit is the fun of gathering together and launching a raid-style invasion on these behemoths. There isn't necessarily a lot of experience, influence/infamy, or other rewards. However, it could be used as an opportunity for those who like to engage in a little roleplaying action. And, just enjoy the fun of defeating giant walking plants with your friends!

But, for now, I am just trying to find out if there would be interest in having this event from time to time. There is absolutely no pressure to have it. Simply interested in gauging the level of interest.

Just to point out something that you may or may not be aware of:

The Devs have said that Hamidon raids will be a source for the components needed for Incarnation stuff which is upcoming in the next two Issues (only the first tier will be going live with Going Rogue). This will likely mean an upswing in the popularity of Hamidon raids across all servers.

Since a necessary prerequisite for Hamidon raiding now is the gathering of EoEs by hunting the very DE monsters you're talking about, I can see events like these being run quite regularly in the near future.

So, then, is this something people would like to see done? Not necessarily an every week thing unless it gets that popular. Maybe every other week?

If I am around I don't mind running into MI and killing a few things, though I have not been doing much in COX with the rest of my life running around.

When and where was this made official?

I really hope I do not HAVE to Hami raid to get Incarnate stuff. I have been on some successful ones but they are hard on my eyes, brain and compy with the frame by frame lag they induce.

A source, not THE source.

I have seen (and participated in) several low key versions of the mash, mainly stockpiling EOE for Master LGTF runs.
