General things like this would be done in a test environment with sample data before getting pushed to production. Also, with things at such a massive scale like this it's good practice to break it up into chunks and do it in batches, so that way if something does go wrong, the entire thing isn't fucked and it's easier to roll back.
This is what blows my mind about Neopets.
They don't seem to possess a test server/test environment like any reasonable business would, just like you mentioned.
As best I can tell, they just YOLO everything onto the real Neopets.com and the userbase gets to suffer the ill effects.

Everything straight to Prod, no looking back.
If the devs I work with had to do that they'd have a meltdown, so gotta give it to TNT's mental fortitude I suppose
EDIT: we're live, baby

Imagine if they unconverted the layout too that would be the best thing out of all this
