There are EQ servers out there that do give rewards for donations and have been doing so for some time (such as Shards of Dalaya, which is around 10 years old). As long as players are not required to pay to play I'm not sure what grounds there would be for recourse.
That being said, the reason rewards for donations are opposed on this server is more of a philosophical one rather than a practical one. People want to play mostly-classic EQ without seeing lvl 10s dressed in neon-colored armor riding around on mounts.

I always thought it would be neat for something like the following: (Which is hardly game breaking at all, and yes I know not classic.)
$5.00 a month - 1 exp potion that lasts for 1 hour at double experience. (Account Bound)
$10.00 a month - 2 exp potions that last for 1 hour at double experience. (Account Bound)
$15.00 a month - 3 exp potions that last for 1 hour at double experience. (Account Bound)
No CRAZY in game items, all no longer dropped items are still valuable, etc. You could buy no more than the possible 3 potions a month even if you donated $10,000. It's a slippery slope, which can lead to bad things if they were a company trying to make money, however they are not.
