Besides having a player's name getting taken, putting everyone in just one server was very risky. When there were at least 2 servers, when any issue were to arise players can still play since one other server works.
New servers always had issues especially when a mass migration takes place, yet back then there was a "backup" server — now there is none.

Not everyone has the patience to do everything again, yet for those who are willing to play they can if they want. In my experience I had to start over, my account was hacked. I had to wait close to a decade to finally have access to that old account. I have however, enjoyed using both accounts and experience two different worlds of sorts.
Ironically, now that were are all on one server this idea could be implemented. A lifeboat channel would actually be another server with just one channel, that we can freely move to. Since all our names are unique now, we could freely move, if they chose to program it in. But there's still the maintenance issue.
In the first few weeks of Nao it had issues similar to what happened yesterday, Alexina did too when it first was made. When either of those events happened I was in another server playing the game. I have experienced similar issues up until my other account got hacked.
It's not running away to another, it is more that the game can still be accessed and played. If you cannot play at all, that will be worse.
I seem to recall a time when Alexina was down and the other three weren't. In the ideal, the concept of a lifeboat channel seems like a not bad idea, but at the end of the day Nexon has to make the bottom line calculation as to whether it can afford it. Given the rather specific situation that it is meant to address, I don't think it would pass muster for Nexon's accounting department.
