I hope to see some scripted events take place that actually change the game world over the course of weeks or months. Either through the main quest series (i.e. the first team of WXY to defeat quest Z) or through side-quests not found via the main series (maybe you explore and see hints scrawled into the stone or written on lost tablets/texts). These events would give unique rewards but reshape the entire game world in a unique way, that would either last for a given amount of time or would persist across all new games forever more.
But, even if they are not on such a grandiose scale, I still want to see world events not unlike Diablo walking the earth from D2 (though, please, seriously, selling SOJs to vendors on Hell level? Let's be a bit more creative!). Things that everyone hears about, or even can participate in some way or another across all of their games. Perhaps a broadcast telling you to zone over to W area, kill X monster or hit Y switch to see who can beat Z script the quickest. Current and new games could take this task on until it is beaten.
My only thought was that sounds too much like an MMO, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. It would be interesting to see some things like this before a big patch, or right after a patch, but not something that should happen very often.

Any thoughts?
