there was a beta out in 2005 for a game called wish (http://www.colossalstudios.com/wish/index.php) it was one huge world with no instances. too bad it never got out of beta before they killed it.
I used to GM on a UO server and would do random events like you speak of. Basiclly turn off the gaurds in a town and have it be over run with orcs or pirates.
Also I would hold treasure hunts where you start at a boss and he would drop a note. From there everybody could see the note and it would be a clue to the next note. Have about 8 to 10 notes before the end. People that worked together and knew the map back and forth (rather than would just teleport everywhere) would normally come out ahead.
people were always excited about these random events and it would normally bring most of the server together to complete them.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
I helped some friends build their bot. Ours was special because we used the printer as the body/frame. It was their first year their school was competing, so it was all new to us. We didn't have a reverse but it did have zero turning radius. I don't think we won anything but it was still fun.
It had a griping arm to pick up the balls since they were worth the most points. It really couldn't do anything else.
