Some evil creature captures Melandru and as a result the climates go seriously wonky. Ige Ages, searing deserts, lava flows, brutal storms, each area with an environmental effect to make it difficult for adventuring. It could also be a launching point for a realm of the gods for Melandru, which would be stunningly pristine beautiful landscapes riddled by various huge beasties.

I like it too.

And brings on a real work enviromental awarness (GW: Global Warning), which could be a bonus too.

Launching from this idea of ravage land, another possible direction could be where a new Evil Race from another realm come to Tyria via a giant Moon-like asteroid, and is slowly sucking the Energy from the land, which drain the gods. And will be up to the heros to save the day.

The evil race could take on a more magic-infused mechanics theme (steam punk fantasy), and the Moon be Death star like. They could also send down giant giant robot-like machina to harvest/attack the world (Shadow of the Colossus like game play) Also with progress of story, you could see that Moon looming closer and closer, and sucking the energy in a big beam in far off distance.

The enviorment, like described by Hideous Beast, will be that of land that is enviromentally unbalance. Also would include the final showdown at the machine/steam Moon.

Anyhow, just brainstorming ideas.... but I like what Hideous Beast propose.
