Alternative to Spawn Variance That Has Never Been Suggested:

Best solution to avoid socking is to have all mobs which currently issue an FTE message with the ability to spawn anywhere in the world.

Vulak POP - Orc Hill in Gfay!
Trakanon POP! - near docks in Oasis!
Yelniak POP! - EC Tunnel

ect. ect.

With the idea of custom content to come later, was there ever discussion of when/what would occur?

I like the idea of world pops. But I like it more if it didnt say the exact location / zone but more of a general so its not just a race to get to x location, but its a race to find it.

Ikkitar the Venom has been spotted in Kunark
Talendor is terrorizing Odius
Vulak has acquired the taste for small races, and hunts them by their homes.

This is more of a general script that can be written with multiple locations per clue that is linked with a randomly picked mob spawn.

Would be like a GM event that wouldnt require more then a well written script to be enabled to spice things up.

The impact of this effecting lower levels would be small. With open announcements the target will be dead within a few hours. Not to mention even if you were new to the server, and a event went on and you ran into a dragon or raid mob, and ended up dieing. at least you felt like you experienced something unique. If you lived to see a 50+ high level people converge to slay the dragon it would be an inspiring fun event. Make the server more alive all over, then having select areas saturated.

This could be on a Timer to run once a week, a day, or even once the previous target has died.
