Avast me hardies and be forewarned, there be SPOILERS from The Sundering series ahead:
In order for the "dead" comes to come be there would have to be major changes to the game. In the frew years beyond the current years, there as there have been literally earthshaking changes to the Realms. The weave is restored and Mystra returns. So spell plague disappears and every effect depended upon it disappears. So the Chasm zones and it's quests are rendered mute. The zone itself would be changed drastically (see below). Magic use is changed once again as it returns to almost how it worked before Mystra "died". All of flying earth motes get grounds. Helms Hold quest chain would need to be changes as Helm does return. And on and one....
But if Wizards allows it, the timeline of the game could be advanced while not gutting all of the work putinto the PvE content. The character's leveling up progress through all of the zones is character following the time like. So the Chasm zone is frozen in at the point of time before the spell plague ends. And any new content/zone could be the world changing effects from the the Sundering. We could even have following visits to the old zones to deal with the effects. It could be very interesting to with quest line dealing with a post spell plague Chasm zone. Helping to revitalize Helms Hold after you breaking the hold of the Ashmadai, putting down the criminal element trying reestablish power and seeing the effects of Helm's return. All sorts of possibilities in the post Sundering Realms which make me all tingly as a DM. Using the Weave's return as an excuse to create add new classes and new type of gear... Gah. Need to stop new and get to work.
Hmmm I hadn't quite thought of it in the logistical sense you had but you're totally right. And I think you have great ideas on how they could work it in without changing the game too much... What to do about the floating hotel though hmmm...
But it think it's totally worth it considering how much Realms fans love their gods. Like the Icewind Dale and Tyranny of the Dragons updates, they could add a "Pantheon” Module or Expansion where they update the game/quests to more 5E rules and add our favorite gods and make them a bigger part of the game. Maybe they could make a temple district where the faithful could congregate and quest chains revolving around their church. Seriously, there’s tons of possibilities with a revamped religion system. I think it could also be a good financial decision for Perfect World as again, Realms fans love their gods. They have rightfully utilized the awesome lore and setting of the Forgotten Realms/D&D, and anyone who knows the FR knows how big and popular the Pantheon is – so I believe it’s seriously an untapped resource begging to be developed.

Spoiler: This is a spoiler.
Thanks Zeb!
So as I was saying, *WARNING: Spoiler Alert! Seriously, don't read this unless you want to spoil the end of the Sundering series!*, things can change in a place like the Forgotten Realms...
Mystra is very, very much alive and the Sundering is over. So Abeir and Toril are separated, the Spellpague is done, the Weave is intact, and Mystra is unequivocally back
So things may be a little different now.
The right to command is earned through duty, the privilege of rank is service.
