The main concern I have is splitting the community. History has shown how poorly people react to changes and how hard it is to grab their attention without giving them a slap in the face by taking away their lolipop (shutting down whatever they're using, i.e. old expedition page).

I mean it'd be difficult to get the memo to everyone. Notification doesn't work for the unregistered people and we can't possibly expect everyone to spot a banner notice in the main page (I myself don't even visit the main page). It's impossible to shut down this wiki and wikia people might not even approve of a front page banner saying "hey, let's ditch them and head to the other party".

Not to mention, those 300 extensions you're talking about are being put into use. A quick look at the Expedition and Furniture pages in the new server, we're missing tabview, tab, galleryview, math, comment module (it's parsed as messy talk pages by default) and god-know-how-many-else-we-are-missing. There's much work to be done. I can't deny the potential. It's great. I like the lightning fast page load, I like what I'm seeing.

However, finding the alternatives for all the extensions we're using now and then maintaining them, keeping stuffs up-to-date, are bothersome. Now we have the entire wikia dedicated to developing new extensions and then maintaining them, in the future, we'll have to split our resources and have a tech team to work on them. Well, the prospect isn't exactly better than getting block IP ban by accident imo.
