Clans/Guilds
Perhaps instead of those names it could be called a "Dojo". Each Dojo can have it's own base of operations which could be upgraded with some sort of currency and the ability to buy dojo points which could be used to upgrade things directly effecting the dojo system, for example raising the member cap by 5 every (random amount ) of points or currency spent. Then it could get more competitive with dojo wars to see which dojo is the best and maybe events could flow from there. I just personally think it would be a cool feature where you are able to hang around with your friends and have sparing sessions and compete against others.

But maybe yes : teleporting from a new sector to the map we have (it would be great if we can do that on feet though)
About the dojo YES, maybe via a system when you can dessolve the excess of equipements and getting raw materials. But the trap would be to not transform the game in a farm game (ex warframe)
Speaking of Warframe, they have a very intressing DOJO system where clans can create their own space and rooms.
I would love to see a bamboo dojo, a cavern dojo or a dojo on the edge of a cliff. with rooms to pray, meditate, rest, train, with distinctive sensei, honorables and arrogant members...
Oh ! And some formal teaching lessons scheduled by the sensei or the instructors or informal lessons
