Based on the effort required is by Players VS Programmers. Bar horrible programming, scripted data extraction & insertion to a new Server can be done. I do know this is possible to one degree as I used to run & program a game with an old roommate of mine & we did many said fixes. Much like all issues with this game, from said issue to time of fixing, if ever, is a matter of effort & time by the DEVs. Which unfortunately to our pocketbooks, is not high priority, unlike their paychecks.
