I was thinking to myself, what is one thing I would like, that others could enjoy, and that I have never seen offered in another MMO, that could be produced cheaply with less man power needed for CO. Similar to the emote pack that had emotes that were already made so it took less development time (at least for the first pack) and could instantly turn a profit.
Thus I thought of selling RP locations.
First off, I want it clear that I do not mean any that are already available, such as Caprice, Shararah's, the Minefield, etc.
What I would love to see is that Cryptic take such instances like the Hi-Pan alert, Q-Realm from Demonflame, the inside of Cyberlords ship, warehouses, and the random civilian missions, and turn them into RP instances to sell. Similar to hideouts. Where we could invite friends to Role play and have fun.
main reasons why I think this would be good...
1) Role players: are a devoted bunch, and have lost several RP locations that still have not returned. This would be a boon to RPers that can make money for CO.
2) Foundry: It could be seen as a precursor and while they put these together, they could take a look at each instance and see what they need to do to work towards the foundry itself (adding coding that maybe needed or at least start documentation needed later.)
3) Dev time: With the instances already created, there would be no need to create the instances from scratch. Hell I don't even think they would have to add too much. If they want to add a way to customize the instances like hideouts, it would get us closer to a foundry, but for this purpose, it would not be "needed." We have alot of options to choose from, and lots of hard work went into creating them, might as well get as much enjoyment out of them as possible.
To name the Hi-Pan one again, it is sad that it is only used as an alert. Or the ones used for the Comic series as well, like Aftershock, I love the small Q-Realm used for that, I really wish we had more to do there.
4) Re-opening other locations: Perhaps while they go in to make changes to the instances that would be used the devs could open some of our lost instances (like the mutations spot in westside) and open up ones like the museum, bank, jail and Police station. These could be like city hall, an open instance to just walk around and enjoy yourself. They also wouldn't need a lot of development time since the instances them selves are made, they would just need to have the bad guys removed, or re arranged. You could add to these places and put recognition venders and such in them, or even quest givers.
Sorry for the wall of text. Hope you guys like the ideas, please feel free to add your ideas too it. I look forward to other people's input.

Here we are now going to the West Side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day
Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm
In game as @forgemccain
