I know it can be done if anyone is familiar with the super long running consistent events that happened (and are still happening) on Landroval server. (Ales and Tales anyone?) It would be very cool to see stuff like that happening in FFXIV. Even in spite of the fact that we don't have that fancy in-game music system.
But as Xen said it does take a group of like-minded individuals to really keep up the momentum. A single person tends to get overwhelmed. But if you do start one up, invite me on Ojune. I plan on trying to split my time between my two main chars so I don't know how available I'll be for the flash mob type events. But for planned things I'm certainly interested.
I led my LOTRO Guild's band on Landroval for almost a year (Shadow Company), and was friends with some of the Hobbiton Philharmonic - so I know exactly what you mean. Had to put together a raid-level synch performance once... and it was awesome. Those are the things I miss, and even without the system, we can improvise.
I have an alt, too, but I pay very close attention to things. And the beauty of a linked group is that we may always have enough for -something-.
