Well firstly it would help to specify the size you mean.

We do have some large-scale things.
  • Eureka.
  • BA (Eureka raid).
  • Bozja.
  • CLL (in Bozja).
  • Delubrum Reginae.
  • Delubrum Reginae (Savage).
  • Zadnor.
  • Dalrida (in Zadnor).
  • Alliance Raids (15 currently, you can do them Minimum Item Level for fun as an FC).
  • Hunt trains.
  • Spawning and fighting S ranks.
  • FATE farming for bicolor gemstones.
  • Doing special boss FATEs such as Odin, Ixion, Archaeotania, Formidable, Chi and Daivadipa.
  • Airships and submarines are meant to be something the FC does together but it kinda just ends up as something the FC leader does.
  • The Firmament (was more fun when it was current because now they are just celebration events).
  • Build a house and garden together (this is common).
  • Run venues and RP events at this house (this is also common).
One idea I had was "FC Neighborhoods," where the entire FC could work together to progress an instanced (like Island Sanctuary)
The Island Sanctuary-like content in the next expansion will be social, meaning you can do it with others, so most likely your entire FC can participate together similar to The Firmament. The theme will be Cosmic Exploration.

We will also get another Field Operation like Eureka or Bozja. All these things will be in patches though, so don't expect them immediately at 7.0 release. Expect things like this in 2025, a whole year from now minimum.
