When should we start seeing movement to open closed servers?

That's my whole point. If this server farm is the system that's been deemed sufficient for 2.0, it is obviously insufficient for 1.x. Why, then, is SE going through great efforts to entice people to return to the game now, when they know these servers can't handle the crummy 1.x software? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until 2.0 goes live to start all this "legacy" and "welcome back" stuff?

If I was Yoshi-P, I'd be absolutely furious. He and the dev team are literally killing themselves trying to save this game, and the IT guys are dropping the ball.
