I hadn't even really considered the possibility of not-fully-custom servers being interested, just because it would be
so much work converting everything over, and also considering the dip in productivity that comes with having to learn a new system as well, though that's tiny in comparison.
I'll definitely think about having the Lua systems coexisting-with-but-secondary-to the Perl/SQL equivalents, but I think I'll take me a few days just to process the mental gymnastics it'll take to work out how to manage that (at least for items, spawns and paths probably wouldn't be too bad). I still need to get the clean version up to par with my server and make sure all the bits and pieces work properly before making any major changes into how it all operates.
