I'd be worried about little things. Level links, how fast you can really go across Graal with loadscreens, etc. Then again, with flying technology, anything's possible.

Right, exactly. And it's all fine to say that managers should wise up and be more flexible, give their staffers a say equal to their work in the shared product, as well as share any hypothetical future profits from said work, but they're under no default obligation to - "it's MY server you've poured your sweat and blood into, and if I say it's going to throw nukeshots and lizardswords to people at random, you have to live with it!"
Disenfranchised, that's the word.
So do we by default say they can take their work with them? They have to let the admin keep a copy, but they can open their own server and try to make it work? Then we have two servers branching in two directions - they insist they're irreconcilably different directions, so they should be two vastly different servers, right? But each wants the other to fail so they can swipe their opponent's playerbase...
I think that's the whole problem right there - Graal shares a small pool of players, and everyone competes over the Graalians. Graal really needs to release these customizable frontends, so Delteria can release a Delteria client (which is just a customized Graal) on the Delteria website (which is just a template hosted from graal.net) and start bringing in Delterians (which are just newbies who haven't realized their Delteria account works on all these other servers yet, and for the same price)...then maybe we'll see servers that stand alone, servers that are worth upgrading for "Just for Zone" instead of "Well, I DO get access to all 10 servers for this price..."
