I have thought a lot about this and I don't know what the reasoning behind not moving the character skills over is. But maybe offer a character preservation package for purchase. If you want to retain your character skill levels, knowlege, fame ect you can purchase a preservation package. This would be a way to get a injection of cash to help the game and leave the vets with the option of keeping their character or not. I would pay, and most likely would pay x 6 accounts as well. I can understand a complete item wipe if that is necessary to make necessary changes and clean out things that are being removed from the game (like cats) and changing dapper system although I don't like that idea in the least, I could swallow it if I could keep my character skills and knowlege in tact. Just a thought.....;.
