even when Winter comes, the issue of time for this server being out of whack will still be present. unlike most modern EQ expansions Velious did not make Kunark content irrelevant.
Most guilds were not decked out in end-game Kunark (including VP) when Velious launched. Epic quests were still the best in slot (for most classes, by far) for several expansions. Etc.
I'm not sure how you can address this situation on a static classic server...once Velious does come out the server will be in a permanent final state. the only real way to preserve the actual game play experience from live, imo, would be to actually start a new server and follow the exact time line. The devs have stated that this is not going to happen.
Its not really a problem, its more like the nature of a server that was designed and launched to never go past Velious content. The OP raises a fair concern, but unless the devs deviate from their intended vision I don't think the situation will get any better and, in fact, will see more legit MQ'ing and sale of very high end items as time goes on.
