Zone Event: Jail Break

So I go to log out in the PPD building in atlas park for my day job and a thought popped into my head. There's never anyone in the holding cells up the elevator. But what if there was?

I think it would be cool to get a zone announcement that "so and so boss has or is breaking out of jail". Then people could come rushing and quickly "arrest" the evil doer. But there could be something similar on the Villains side as well.

Maybe NPC heroes or just plain angry people could escape from experimental labs, where they've been tortured and have had enough. What's the motivation to take 'em down? Badges and recipe rewards of course.

And maybe another incentive would be picking player made NPC's for the jail breaks. If we can't use color options in AE when I-16 comes out, maybe we can use them here?

Anyone have any ideas on how to implement this? Maybe have a specific character slot for jailbreaks when Going Rogue comes out. Of course that opens it up for some awful character names and random costumes.

But if there was ever an option to "disable" one of my characters for a day in the chance he'd get picked for a jailbreak, I'd do it. Although I'd love to be able to actually play as my villain breaking out of Atlas Park jail. But even if I as taken down to level 1, I'm sure people would have a problem with being attacked by another player in Atlas.

Jail Break PvP

To me the Breakout tutorial on the villains side screams PvP zone. Maybe it can be implemented as an Arena map for Going Rogue. It's too small to be an open zone I think, but I'd love to see how it would work. The Zig in Brickstown could be integrated into breakout. Maybe that would work.

That's all I have for now. Input?

This has actually been suggested a lot before.
I still will /sign it.
I would also like to suggest maybe having the villain have the level-free coding so higher levels and lower levels can partake.

To expand on this I would like to propose this being done on a larger scale in Brickstown as a zone event and maybe something similar in Grandville, like heroes/longbow making an attempted siege on the Spider City.
