Sorry, the only thing that is claimed to be emulated is the actual game. You can't emulate players from 1999-2001.

Ok, I get the whole classic mechanics vs. classic environment thing. This server favors classic mechanics over classic environment, except when it gets to be a pain for the GMs (eg. boats, raiding).
But here's the thing: people back on live may have been ignorant, but they weren't stupid. If you were leveling off gnoll fangs, then you hit level 15, and gnoll fangs were still giving better XP than anywhere else, it's not like you went "It's 1999 therefore I will stop doing a quest that gives great XP".
No, you stopped doing the quest
because it stopped giving good XP. This happened naturally on live for years. People reached a certain level and they moved on from Blackburrow,
not because of ignorance, but because the mechanics supported it. While I don't have exact facts on how much XP a gnoll fang gave at level 15 on live, I know that in 1999 level 15-20+ characters weren't dominating the zone to collect fangs, and I know they would have if if the mechanics encouraged it. Therefore, I can infer that something about the mechanics here on 99 are off.
