Also I think you're off about this, I'm pretty sure the plan is to have those items dropping at kunark release and then having them removed/nerfed a month or two down the line
You are right, the dev's have been pretty clear. I wish people would understand that this server is supposed to Mirror 1999 and onwards. There will be no custom content or tweaks to make your life easier. Sure not everything can be EXACTLY like 1999, but this is due to the titanium client and is out of the dev's hands.

Read the P1999 FAQ in the Library.

here is are some of the highlights

OMG! The last patch did something that wasn't classic!!! What should I do?
If you can prove that the change did not happen at any point between Original - Velious, please go post in the bug subforum with your evidence, otherwise read this post and follow the instructions. Remember that this is a free server and the devs are trying to follow the original patch history, but some things will be patched earlier than live, and some will be patched later than live.

Where can I look up the original patch history of EQ Live?

Shadows of Luclin was released in December 4th 2001, so almost everything from 1999 through 2001 is considered classic

What is the progression?
Aeolwind posted a list of the original progression on live, which the GMs will be trying to stick to. Located here. This progression with end with Velious. Luclin and other expansions will not be available on this server.

Are there any items I can only get for a limited time?
Yes, many items that were "pre-nerf" on live will be obtainable on this server for a limited time. For example, manastone and rubicite dropped until Temple of SolRo came out and now they are no longer obtainable.
