Yes. It's a ridiculously huge amount of work. Dwilight only happened because it was a community effort. The map design, region naming, initial stats, and a few other things were all community-driven efforts. But even after all that, there was still a very large amount of work that had to be done to get the entire thing ready for play.
But we already have most of that. All regions have their ID, they all have their stats, they all have their name, they are all drawn out in vector format for the dynamic maps, and so on.
It would certainly require a lot of work, still, but not all of the work that was required for Dwilight would be required to do this. Namely, no new land would really need to be drawn out, because we'd just be taking what's already done.
And if we set that as a goal, why couldn't merging the continents be a community effort as well?
