Were the events in Delta beneficial to the server?

[Thyrzul]

Explain the "long time: no" part.
Because I think this is not true or at least can be misunderstood.

Was the event "not beneficial" in the long run... meaning: it was "bad" and did damage... or do you mean "it was neither good nor bad, had no effect"?

For me it means that now that we are past the activity-boost, cash-boost and unrestricted roleplay the whole community will split into two when coming to argue how it'll continue. Half of us gonna say screw insignificant space hermits, Core shown what they can, Iridium gets off of Fp11 and will be sold on Yaren now, etc, the other half gonna say Core is not a mini-house, even just a wannabe at that and can't just shrug off Zoners like insignificant folks they are completely independent from because either they aren't or it grants precedent for future factions reking Zoners whenever they want and Zoners will soon disappear if admins give into this. As the result of staff rolling with player decisions like never before, the community will soon become the battleground of this arguement like never before, because that's how we roll.

Or maybe I'm exaggerating, but I can foresee the whole ending up like how Spazzy forecasted: drama becomes so big and people so sour that nobody gonna like this mess anymore and it'll be inevitably retconned. Or maybe it'll just die down without said drama and without any effects at all, Core becomes red to Zoners and nothing else happens like with TAZ-Order relations until now.
