Mass move command for GM's?

[soba]

Athica has been down for most of the day today and it occured to me it would be a big help for GM's to have a command that would move every character currently in a zone to the safe point in an adjacent zone.

Perhaps this command could also be automated so that if a zone is down for more than 2 hours it would automatically move all characters?This way a GM doesn't have to wait and watch for each individual petition, and would at least in my opinion be a small inconvenience to those who don't want their characters moved.

We have a very large global character table. Walking through all of it, filtering for this that and the other thing (like when they last logged on) and moving them to zone X would in itself create a large momentary sql-driven lag spike, the likes of which would probably cause timeout issues on other zones, which would then go down...

Short of Wiz coding a more indellible solution in the game code, we already have the best and most reasonable solution.
