For the most part, I wouldn't think dungeons are actually much of an issue, since they don't actually load unless someone enters them (and NPCs don't move/exist as a side note).
Before it was an issue, and made the server lag a fuckkkkton.
I will say though. I actually read what you posted (because I had missed it, oops) and.. every tile being a 32x32 zone on Sigrogana overworld is.. Very much not in the right direction, in my mind. Camps fulfill this, as of right now, whilst also allowing for RP opportunities therein. It also signals to folks that there is either
A) RP going on there
or
B) Someone is there.
If the game was on a smaller scope, consisting of Sigrogana alone, I'd definitely be more into this, but considering it spans across 5 continents right now, with entire cities occupying 1 tile on the overworld (and the capitol of the country being a 3x3).. I don't think having 1 tile = 32x32 map is that realistic. Of course, I know you were just spitballing a number, which is fine.
I don't think, as of current, we have the playerbase to sustain something like this... Sorry, Saw.
As for what Exxy said.
GMs can already 'cause' events, as it were. Saw did it plenty of times with random birds that extended from the sky. They can very easily simply set up a camp and have it be something sinister. Just like any player could. If you mean Black Beast Attacks.. well. That would require Dev to make a system for that, but that's another topic for somewhere else (A really good topic though.)
