Hi comrades! So I've been thinking about our dear site for a while, and I came up with some ideas that could make the setting move along a little and provide new RP opportunities. Most of these came from perusing the Universe of Metro 2033 novels.
-recolonisation of the surface: mentioned in Towards the Light. While the surface remains very dangerous and irradiated, it could be possible for survivors to reclaim certain less contaminated areas. In Towards the Light, one of the Saint-Petersburg metro factions was actively engaged in study and selective breeding of mutated plants recovered from the surface, their ultimate goal being to either make plants capable of decontaminating the air and soil, or to make humans resistant to radiation. Claiming an area on the surface, however, would be a costly and dangerous enterprise.
-contact with other survivors: done several times in the Universe books. Radio contact has been made between Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, and many other books have portrayed survivors living in other parts of Russia, and even Europe (Great Britain, Poland, Italy, Finland...). This could either be an opportunity to expand our setting, or to have threads involving contact (by radio or by travel) with survivors from outside Moscow.
-return of the Dark Ones: the most obvious one, and also the only one that hasn't been explored in Universe books. Dark Ones play an important part in both Metro 2033 and Last Light, and their abilities seem destined to either save humanity or destroy it.
Oh, and if you have any suggestions of your own, feel free to post them!
