I really don't understand sentiments like those expressed by the above two posters. The OP is reasonably upset because he figured that a server which claims to recreate EQ Classic would follow more or less all the same rules.
It seems that charm / run speed / all the other changes on this server are probably in for a decent reason, namely making it so that one class cannot have an unfair levelling advantage over others (bard swarm kiting?).
This is ridiculous for 2 reasons,
1) everyone on this server is always going on about how they want to stay as close to EQ Classic as possible, if mechanics were in classic why are they not here?
2) One must look at these things relatively. Sure, maybe bards were able to level up very quickly using certain methods, but as project1999 stands today a necromancer or magician also has a similar levelling advantage over my paladin (consider relative soloing abilities, coupled with the absurdly "classic" 40% exp penalty)
Conclusions: 1)OP's emotions are not out of line 2)get rid of the damn class exp penalty!!!!
To OP: I don't think its worth rerolling, 20 stat points in the long run (especially considering kunark / velious) will not make or break your character (especially a bard).
