  The problem isn't the maps.

  The main change for the new server is the redoing of the skills and spells.

  There is no good way to convert old characters over to the new system (any 
conversion is either really unfair to old characters, or unfair to new 
characters (in that the old characters have benefits that newly created 
characters could never get)).

  It was just that when setting up the new server with this new code, it was 
also decided to go to the bigworld maps, since that is the way the world is moving.

  I certainly believe it is possible to play with the new skill/spell code with 
the small world maps.  The conversion of maps is actually a relatively small 
deal (only thing that would really break there are apartments and the like, and 
there are conversion scripts in place for that).
