In many modern games groups are organized by some sort of Clan system, which have a sort of "Us versus the Hordes" feel to them.

Given that most MHO's & CHE's have very little to spend their coffers on, funding excursions/adventures/raids would be a great way to provide an amazing expansion to this system and drain those coffers some.

A sort of organizational reputation system, that offered some automated rewards for various statuses would even make this more amazing.

Examples of some instanced quests:

1. Hard - Requisition airships to travel to the Southern Jungles past Sharath to fight a rising lich lord and his undead minions.
2. Medium - Hire naval ships to capture Krolvin that have been plaguing Idolone's shipping lanes.
3. Easy - A hoarde of trolls has been seen massing near the Red Forest around a new leader, hunt them down.

Examples of potential rewards:
1. At [N] reputation your group each member is able to choose a character-bound X per day item
2. At [N * 3] reputation your group can (expensively) hire a local smithy for one-hour of WPS work.

I'd like to see reputation as something that must be maintained, so it would be based on number of events completed/goal accomplished in a (reasonable) window.

The fundamental framework already exists, inasmuch as creatures can be spawned in response to a 'quest'/geas that the character is under. (Adventurer's Guild, Sunfist)

Turn that around, and have the organizations register their Crusade intentions with the town crier's (who then pull characters of the relevant level range aside to tell them how to get in on it) with date & time & location & level range details, pay their fee/charter costs to arrange transport, and on the day, everyone troops on board to go whale the hell out of the baddies.
