Almost no one has fond memories of classic EQ because of dial up disconnects or spending an hour lost in a zone or having to wait until tonight to ding because you have to go to school right now. They have fond memories because of the ingame mechanics and environments... stuff that is not affected by reading logs.

Well dial up disconnects and parents screaming at you to go to sleep at 2am were not really intended by the game designers as part of experience

Not having maps and getting lost - sort of were.
Of course everyone hates getting lost, getting killed and loosing their corpse with hard earn newbie gear - but that was part of original design.
But all that aside, the MOST important part of Classic Experience - is being new to the game - being a newbie. Exploring and finding out things for the first time, being surprised, overjoyed, scared, shocked etc. That part is GONE. You will never be newbie again, unless someone wipes out your mind, you will never truly relieve those experiences. At most you can hope to go the places you remember fondly and feel some nostalgia.
