3 problems I see with that.

1. If a server has custom columns in their items table, chances are, their items are unique and aren't really modeling after anything in particular (like EQLive), so why would they contribute? Why not just play on their server?

2. If such a server did contribute items, chances are the columns 31+ they are dropping contain necessary information to make that item work as intended, otherwise, they wouldn't have the column. So such an contribution may not really be worth it anyway because it is not how it was originally designed to be.

3. All servers of the same version share the same database schema unless modified. If a change in code has required the schema to be changed for the server, chances are, the server isn't going to be contributing database information (specifically, items).

C++ is wonderful.
