Hi, it depends. If your data model is properly and consequently normalized and you do not use "naked" SQL statements to retrieve the data then it is not that hard to append additional data to a character. But for performance reasons often the data model ist de-normalized and there are tons of manually written SQL statements that make it difficult to make changes without breaking other parts of the software. The funny thing is, Blizzard did this with WoW classic. The old data model was mostly de-normalized and they had to convert it to a new model that was compatible with the new server- and client software. There is a video from a Blizzcon what they had to do to make it work.
