This servers goal was to provide a basic nostalgia for the "good ol' days" of EQ. I think it does that perfectly. Once you've traveled to zones you hadn't been to in years, leveled up a little bit, grouped a little bit, and wiped a couple of times the nostalgia wears off, and you get an experience that is no longer classic. However, I think it's futile to expect a truly full classic experience since
A) this is free emulator
B) its freakin 14 years later...times have changed, information is more readily available, and this games been played to death.
I feel like the majority of players will come back to enjoy this game for a couple of months and then move on, and most of the issues discussed here (sans ddos lag) won't affect them. I don't really see the need for a wipe or fresh server, and am unsure whether i would care enough to start on fresh server if there was one.
You can never stand in the same river twice.
