If so, why the prolonged delay in switching to the new servers? I know its a little bit more complicated but why not install the current version up on the new servers, port over the character data and all long with it and gt the new servers up and running now?

It's not the server hardware that's the problem based on my reading of most of the interviews about 2.0; it's the software. The server application itself, including the data structures and methods to move them around and communicate with the game client, has architectural flaws that necessitate the creation of the new server app 2.0. Yoshi-P says that development is proceeding according to schedule, so go check the road map and see where they should be. I think the new server program is already running in testing and the tools for creating new content for it are in active development, but I may have that second part wrong.
