Ok instead of trying to use a mini game to make up for the lack of pvp, you must bottleneck the game in a new zone. One we can chose to go to or not. Make it let everyone from every server connect. Maybe let gamewide guild wars happen. BUT FOR GODS SAKES let us use our own toons, built with the gear from the game IN IT. We earned it WE DESERVE TO USE IT!! .
I am saying a HUGE zone that would take a good time to go from one end to the other with some objectives, bosses to spawn and kill, even could hold gm events. Where they come as gods to punish everyone and I mean EVERYONE! Let all servers connect and do battle.
You could have racial areas or teams or just straight out FFA "free for all" I dont care. U open it with places to get gear and if your a pvper or not the zone will get attendance.
BUT another minigame... /emote Looks down ashamed of his devs these days.

Underfoot: Unfolding the Lore - Brell's Arena
The fourth part of Underfoot's "Unfolding the Lore" series is out and focuses on Brell's Arena:
Brell's Arena
Located just off Brell's Rest, Brell's Arena is a small battleground that was created by Brell Serilis to allow the gnolls and kobolds to "play" a vicious game known as the Boomerang Brawl. This unusual game is run by Gilbot the Magnificent, a gnomework creation of Brell.
Throwing heavy metal boomerangs at others, participants earn points for their team. Points are lost for being hit by boomerangs or by running into an exploding barrel. This gives the aggressive kobolds and gnolls an outlet for their destructive instincts.
As with all games, enforcers are present to make sure all contestants adhere to the rules of the brawl. The champions of the brawls earn treasure befitting their rank.
Here are a few pictures of Brell's Arena. You can check out several more of them at EQLive.
