Isn't the FV ruleset exactly the opposite of what we need? On FV, absolutely everything is worth camping because you can sell it. More extensive no drop is surely a better way to reduce camping: if level 60's don't need an FBSS and can't sell it, they won't camp it.
AA is indirectly a great answer. After a year or so, catching up on level 60's with full AA's will be so daunting that noone will join anymore, and so we get a new server...

The trivial loot code was a good counter to most things being droppable. Green mob, no loot.
I think if you wanted an real original EQ feel you would need to recreate Norrath with different zones, different loot, different mobs with different tactics but with the old hard style EQ game play.
EQ was cool because it was new, challenging, had a shit ton of quests, mobs, zones without big yellow signs telling you exactly how to play the game (wow style) and for a while there was lots of stuff to discover and lots of puzzles to solve.
Second, third - tenth time around knowing what everything drops, the % chance etc will never provide you with the original first time EQ awesomeness of 99.
