Oh, perfect! Then they can keep a 1.0 server running indefinitely for nostalgia!
An MMO holocaust museum.
They have to be using different server hardware for the alpha and beta considering they're keeping V1 running.
I don't think the hardware was part of the problem anyway so no doubt they will reuse some of it later on. Shit server software will run shit no matter what hardware you put it on, just like the shitty client software runs shit on every PC.
