I didnt experience it myself but it sounds awsome:
Phase 2 – The Invasion
Begins: June 17, 2013 at 12am PDT (When is that in your time zone?)
Ends: June 20, 2013 at 9am PDT (When is that in your time zone?)
Details: Protector’s Enclave will be under attack! How can you help protect the city of Neverwinter? During the End of Open Beta Event, there are 5 locations around Protector’s Enclave that will be vulnerable to attack. Look for a message indicating where the portal appeared and help fend off groups of enemies threatening the city. Also, there will be smaller groups patrolling the city, from the portals to the market area, looking to terrorizing the denizens of Neverwinter – they need your help! When the Invasion event is running, you will receive an open mission for killing enemies while in Protector's Enclave. Portals will spawn at the top and bottom of the hour and stay open for 5 minutes then close.
Phase 3 – The Finale
Begins: June 19, 2013 at 12am PDT (When is that in your time zone?)
Ends: June 20, 2013 at 9am PDT (When is that in your time zone?)
Details: The invasion is not over by any means, adventurers. Even more dangerous and deadly creatures await their opportunity to destroy the city of Neverwinter. During the final phase of the Invasion, the Finale, terrifying Unhallowed Wights will make their presence known throughout the Forgotten Realms by coming through the portals and patrolling the city! These waves will be spaced 5 minutes apart.
However, if you successfully help keep Neverwinter safe during Phase 2 and Phase 3, you may be rewarded with some amazing items which are unique to this event! Throughout the event at the end of each portal wave, you will receive a bag of bones if you helped kill anything during the portal invasion. Collected bones can be taken to Makos' Apprentice in Protector's Enclave, by the market plaza, and exchanged for rewards. During the event, a Scroll of Deathly Aura may drop providing a minor buff to your character while granting a fire aura. Also, new unique enchantments may drop during this event which will provides 2 stat bonuses instead of 1. And, a new unique companion may drop during the last two phases. Which will it be? Join us during the End of Open Beta Event starting on June 14, 2013 to find out.

No to combat events in city zones.
Here's the problem with them in every single mmo that does them.
City zones are suppossed to be safe zones. Do your trades, hit the vendors, etc. They're boring area's but needed. The other problem is that unless you make the mobs all level 1 ish, You hit new players and new characters with major inconviences by making them have to run away or die from mobs way above their level, this opens up griefing and other problems. Lastly these events in every game I've seen cause lag.
Yes it was laggy, yes, you could just sit there and spam away.
It was an incredible display of "Valindra's" power and vanity. I don't remember the multiple types of first ever seen Mobs being untouchable by almost any level that wanted to join in.
I was a lowly TR at the event, I got my share of kills. Didn't see all the random rewards mentioned though I did pick up about a dozen "Savage" enchantments ranked 2-4. That was the first time those had dropped.
I am reminded everyday I took part in the event, along with the name of my alter-ego, I also wear the character Title, "Protector of the Enclave" for killing 20+ of those Valindra chose to do the City harm. The banner gives me no benefits other than I know how long I've been here.
Look around the next campfire, see how many can wear that character Title. it is most likely the second oldest of the "had to have been there events" like "Caturday"

cheers
Some cool item drops an such but the story needs to have a dash of continuity so any further events need to fall in line with it all

I do agree it might be an inconvenience if held in Protectors Enclave, but they never had the patrolling enemies so the only issue was the lag cause by the closing portals, and that was fixed very quickly.

And yeah, I would love some "random" events like this every now and then.
Oh noes spoliers!!.. only reinstalled recently as I stopped playing after m1
Well they had a Halloween event - the whole "Liars Night" thing.
I'd imagine it more to commemorate the 1 year anniversary...
