SE I present you the cloud !

Im a Cloud Architect, so i guess i'd have no clue...

Still i dont want to say an ad hominem phalasy.

BUT....

They could have rented servers and then do a migration.

Assuming they actually run their code on CISC-based CPUs. If not (and the lack of available hardware seems to suggest this), all of the Cloud Architecture in the world isn't going to help one bit. Well, aside from running Stromasys on top of a bare-metal cloud server.

[This one has worked with physical RISC-based systems for decades, and Cloud-based options for the last 5 years. Want to purchase something from Sun/Oracle (or a cloud solution with any of the major vendors)? Come see me.]

That's the thing, they didn't completely "remake" the game. The game is built on the corpse of 1.0, and to do that quickly, they lifted whatever seemed to be functional and kept what they could. The inventory system is a mess because it's rooted so deep. Character creation has limited expandability.

My previous statement might be hyperbole, but it's far from false.

And what source do you have that completely disagrees with what Yoshi has directly said?

Among all the technical ignorance on display lately, I'm just waiting for someone to take the next step and suggest blockchain.

I hate everything about this, but I have to tell you there are already blockchain-driven MMO concepts out there. :|

As pointed out, they said they looked into it and found it to be unreliable. I haven't seen any superior evidence against that in this thread.
