Sounds like a nice gorup Thay but I was never interested in WOW lol.
I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk but I did want to point this out. The reason why you guys are trying to over-do it is because the FFXI RP community was fragmented and competive. You evidently haven't experienced the type of community you are trying to create so its hard for you to believe that drama won't destroy it unless you resrict people a lot.
Please keep in mind that the examples I'm giving from Starsider are because they are sucessful. They have been around for 5+ years and still are around. They are so famous and respected the devs of SWG select a roleplay senator to communicate feedback from the Roleplayers there. There once were 2 Roleplay servers but when population became an issue what did they do? They petitioned the devs to transfer to Starsider and integrated with their RP Community. They are respected and successfully still so I think it would be wise for this coalition to take a look at what they have done.
How many of you have been in a cross guild community before? Instead of guess at what \"might\" happen find out what actually happens in a large RP Community before making decisons. Talk with the Admins etc. I think thi give the FFXIV RPC a better chance at succeeding.
Since all events won't be exactly the same a boiler plate standard really won't work. Example is what I remember from Starsider one year:
1) New years party whic was basically just show up and chat.
2) Bachleor Auction.
3) Gamblin Casino night with a drawing.
4) Galaxies greatest fighter tornament. Was PVP with and audience.
5) The Plague- A story heavey event where a plague swept through the community. There was a basic arch and then everyone also incorparated it in private RP. A few events happened where whoever wanted to attend attended. It was great fun.
6) Imperial Officer Ball.
7) Gang War between the criminals in the community.
8) Rogue Jedi event where all the lightsiders tried to stop a darksider that went nuts.
There was more but if you see the varying themes you can see how one set of rules couldn't work for every scenario.
