I thought I should post some of my private server ideas...
1. Make your gm malls on a model edit so no1 else (hackers) can reach it...just make sure the edit isnt public
2. Have daily events...such as races...the first from booty bay to the dark portal (azeroth side), to Shattrath, then to Halaa, and finally to lets say a neutral mall area...at each stop have a chest that drops a item every player needs...the first to finish the race with all the "peices" and turns it into the event leader (GM) wins a peice or special gear or donor gear...
3. Scavenger hunt events
4. PVP objectives...have flags just like wsg in stormwind/orgrimmar and if a player steals the enemies flag and turns into thier factions flag post wins... have some good prizes too...
5. Custom areas...make model edits for the server...have them hosted public the members or your server to play on...make it good or no1 is going to download it
6. Practice Boss... have a very very large boss closs to a mall...make it invincible but also have no attacks... just like a target dummie
7. Special Bosses... make custom bosses in popular areas such as ... the dark portal... delete the npcs already there...and make it where ppl need to form raids...have some goods drops...make a few bosses with different difficulties with the gear set accordingly.
8. Make a battle scenes...have npcs battle each other (large scale) lets say outside org... Have a hundred or more orcs fighting humans...have it so they battle at certian times....ok the castle in durotar...(cant remember name) have them spawn there ever hour...change their waypoints and formation so they have a cavarly party and charge org (remember having about 100 of them) watch the battle and have fun... also...have it so the orcs spawn right after the other so they orcs always kill the human so they spawn back at the castle
(also make a similar battle for stormwind or iron forge)
9. Change up WSG, AV, AB, and EoTS...were tired of the same thing over and over....hell make a crazy dragon in the middle of wsg that attacks every1 (both horde and alliance) or something...
Or just make some npcs in wsg...have them charge the other base too using waypoint commands
10. Also have recrations of orcs vs humans....have the orcs...all run from thrallmar or where ever.. to the dark portal... and despawn... have the spawn agian at the dark portal (azeroth side) so it looks like they are going threw it...to meet a giant formation of humans...if they win the battle with the humans...have them continue on to stormwind.... Have players get involved... Horde helps the orcs... alliance defends azeroth... loads of fun....
Hope these ideas are used in your server.... also if you have some good ideas pm me and I will add them..,
