So make a copy of the NPC, make the changes.. restrict it from spawning on normal servers and only spawn on the progression server.

Sony runs on Oracle. More-over, they mirror then snowball a base dataset for an entire group of servers in the same geographic location. Sony has always looked forwards, not backwards -- so there has never been a reason to isolate a single server or even add that type of functionality. Bloom filtering on their database is also enabled, so by that merit alone they have some neat optimizations in there that EQEMU won't have until someone moves it to Postgres (MySQL sucks, and it loses data.)
They also don't have data past 3 years old as policy. There have been too many changes, and its not mission critical to keep revisions with non-compatible databases and legacy features that aren't in your game anymore. They're running a business, not a hobby.
