Guild Wars 2

Kind of like the opening of Southsun when the Karka attacked Lion’s Arch, make an event labeled like this coming fireworks show, and then have a freak accident or something that has monsters rampaging around town, the players will have to quickly respond and work together with everyone around them.

When the karka attacked Lion’s Arch, even though it was beyond laggy, and my friends were complaining about that, I was just sitting there thinking that was the coolest thing I’ve seen in an event in any MMO. Turning a known safe-haven into a dangerous area really made things feel dynamic, and if you can replicate that in the future at random times then people would love you for it no doubt.

Being surprised like that really makes the players think twice about future updates, and people would speculate every one of them. That hype always feels nice to have.
