I posted this in another thread and the idea has kind of stuck with me. This has nothing to do with EM Events, CC VS EC, or Free to play, would appreciate if folks would not invoke those endless debates that go nowhere 
It does seem this would provide global events on a regular basis that are also random, and last long enough that every one could participate at some level. I would think in the grand scheme of things it would not be to hard to implement and the invasions themselves could be random one time Ophidians raiding Vesper and the next time reponds raiding brit and another time the crypt gates burst open and a army of undead invade Yew. Maybe toss in a champ level boss now and then with some spec drop. With it being random and automated the devs could focus on other things, once the system was in place and tweaked. It also would not be happening so often as to be common and get boring but often enough........... I don't know 8-12 random invasions a year more or less depending on the random timer going off and triggering the invasion. I can also see where a END timer would have to be incorporated of 5-7 days for the low pop shards as the hordes would never get beat back on some shards. LOL toss a random invasion in with VV and things would get real interesting in the VV town hehe. Seem like something like this would make a lot of people happy and sure a few people complain and would not interfere with the EMs or other content and put a static global event in game that pretty much every who wanted to could participate in or not.
""I have often wondered if something like the Ophidian invasion and Despise brit invasion etc could just be coded to randomly go off and run for a week or until beaten back and then go back dormant until a random timer triggers it to occur again. If I understand right the coding for those invasions is still there and attaching a Random timer might take some work but once done it would offer regular and random events everyone has an opportunity to participate and and profit from. Story line pretty simple ogres, orcs, ettins, terathans, ophidians and whatever else hates human, elf and gargoyles and pull random raids/invasions. Since invasions seem to be the more popular past events brought up for wanting returned.................""
