So I was just thinking what would be cool, if you know your in WC talking to Mindy Pixecrown in Col Blvd, and you Get a Ding from Head Master, "The Commons is under attack", When you Pop to the Commons (or any area really) the sky is dark and it's Lord Night Shade followed by Ghouls, Huanted Minions, Field Minions (the pimkin head scarecrow things), The raid the area, and people are forced into battle.
You could have Raids to attack different areas and different realms from time to time. The Cinematics would be off the chain. And there should be some great drops especially for who ever kills the Boss thats leading the party. And the Raid should last about 30 to 45 or even 60 minutes, continually respawning until time runs out, with a cool endscene, and EVERYONE who fought in a battle in the area at that time should recieve a badge for that particular Raid. like "Wizard City TaskForce badge" or break it down "FireKat Alley Raid Brigade" or something.

Personally, I love the idea! I can see come complications since people go to the commons to heal and regain mana, but I think it's awesome!
I would love to see special events of all kinds go on in the game periodically. It's a nice break from the "daily grind" of questing, and renews the interest in playing for those that may be getting a bit burned out. Special items or badges could be awarded too as an extra incentive.
I think this is a great idea, I agree that it would help with the break up of the day to day quests. As far as the problem with people going to the commons to fill up the health and mana, put in a port to the fairgrounds areas so people can use the mini-games if they choose or leave it where the raids are on the streets to where people can stay on the sidewalks to stay out of the battles if they choose.
I think it should be done like once a month on a Saturday to have the most effect for people. In my own experience, the servers seem to be more full or crowded on the weekends.
It can be really annoying if you want to do a particular quest but can't because some special event had disabled it.
Your right. That would be a problem. Plus if someone might do just one battle and get a lot of credit for it. And only a certain number of people are allowed to battle at a time. It wouldnt be fair if you go staight to the boss but cant join because 4 people are already battling him. And if you are battling him and die, where would you go? The comms is the place being invaded. The idea is cool but the outcome is isnt fair.

i disagree what if your a small lvl and you die it wouldn't be a good start for you and i've seen that happen on games they did a few times because its hard and they quit
I think it would be a lot of fun! But maybe an "opt-out" button or something for someone who didn't want to participate in the battle might be a good idea? But it sounds like something that would be a fun.

I love the idea, but what if you're just starting out in Wizard City, and then there's a raid? If any world should have raids, it's probably Dragonspyre. There's more experienced players there.

You are right dragonspyre has the strongest players BUT i go there and i am a level 26 all i do is port to my friends when they are in dragonspyre . But if there is going to be a raid i dont think i want to port to dragonspyre NO MORE but who knows it may be some fun.
Here is an idea i had for a new world on wizard101 not the same as the one they are about to release grizzlegeim. Ok i was thinking about this under water city were ther could be sharks, mermaids, and krakens, also with some other stuff swimming around in it. If they were to create this world we would have this specail suit to wear it would allow us to swim and breath under water. I also think that we should have new spells like there could be a second schoole of electric in this new worl well thats all i have for now people pleae tell me anything you would like to add top it because i think everyones ideas are good . And i think ill post again sometime tomorrow or the nexrt day but people please reply to me. ORAN LIONWEILDER LVL 26
Very 'toontown' like, and that mechanic worked well. For those not wanting to participate you can change realms. I think it is a great idea for those wanting a special badge, different drops, etc. Lots of options if done right.
Personally, I disagree with this thread's topic. I have seen games where their purpose is completely shattered when they have added that raid ability. *cough* Trivian *cough*
IF it is added, or if it's addition is underway, I would like to see if you could add a friends-only raid, or one where you have to agree to join the raid to participate.
Raids sound awesome problem seems that commons is a "safe zone" but everywher else is fairgame. As far as the lower level wizards being destroyed and quitting. make the bad guys different levels. I am level 45 and I help everybody. If someone calls and needs help I go, it is US against the bad guys that is why there are 4 openings to fight.

I, personally, do not really like this idea. What if you're trying to do something in WC but you can't get around because you're constantly getting pulled into these, "raid battles?" If this did happen, there should be a realm that does this and does this ONLY. My main reason for not liking this idea is the fact that it would be a WHOLE lot of trouble for the people down at KI. This seems like something that would take a while to program and design. There are plenty of other games that already have this kind of thing, I think that Wizard101 will do fine without it.
