Interesting ideas here. One I particularly like is the 'time bubble' idea.
Ever since the Sixth Age began, the lore has basically been written into a corner with the return of the gods. We're meant to fear that a new God Wars will begin and given how devastating we're told the previous God Wars were, we're meant to be fearful for the fate of Gielenor. But aside from the creation of the crater in Lumbridge, and the smaller crater created by the destruction of Bandos' tower, the clashes have created very little in the way of destruction.
This, of course, is necessary for RuneScape to function. The various towns, cities, and skilling areas need to remain available for skilling and other non-questing activities, and so therefore the gods and their followers have to tone down their battles so that all these places remain intact for players to use. The Needle's Remnants idea, however, provides a way to 'have your cake and eat it too', allowing for one version of Gielinor with all sorts of destruction taking place while still allowing the normal version to remain intact.
And yes, the whole scenario is just so epic that indeed, nothing could top it. It would indeed have to be the conclusion of the 'Master Tale' of the gods, the God Wars, and so forth, and anything that came afterward would have to be the smaller-scale stuff where we're helping various humans, dwarves, goblins, gnomes, and so forth with their problems and such, as we've done before.
