I was thinking about how to do the certain zone type events like the location name that pops up when you explore certain areas. What do you guys think about having Zone Scripts to handle certain things like this. I could always use the database for such information, but if someone wants a custom function it would be a lot more complex than just adding a new LUA function. Using scripts lets us fully customize each zone as well .

Original game functionality plus customization ability?
I'll take it. Best of both worlds.
