I get what you're saying about it not affecting gameplay, and I agree with you there.

On the other hand, I think if I ran a classic EQ server, and was asked about it, I wouldn't want to describe it as follows:

"We intended the expansions to be released on their natural timelines and we've progressed as best we could, given the time and resources we could dedicate. It's as accurate to the classic experience up to [classic/kunark/velious] as we can make it, aside from aspects of the client we can't change and the elements that we are still gathering data on. Oh, and we added vendors that sell illusion masks because the economy got all shitty."
