Short term events and projects are probably more suited to that setting.
Well, so long as we have the framework (movement, etc) the nature of the server can be as broad and expansive as developers wish.

As for the egos I hope to contain them by insisting on community votes; such that one simply has to recognize the community as a whole has come to an agreement... and if theirs does not coincide with the communities they're just going to have to deal. I think it's pretty plausible.

I hope to make it easier for people who are interested but not experienced to learn.
