It's just like the time they put up the Discord FFA PvP server for a month, it was "classic content" with LDON camps and Adventure Stones (so you could port around the world using that,) as well as spells (like Breeze) which weren't in until Kunark, and even the spell levels were the newer version where you get spells every level as a caster as opposed to every 4....the list goes on and on.

SOE is all about the $$, and making the game harder in their eyes means; people won't play as long, therefore less $$ in their coffers. They look at WoW, see how easy it is and appealing to so many players, that there really is no reason for them to "devamp" EQ the way it's being done here, on P99. This is also true for almost every other MMO that has a private server counterpart, the closest thing to a classic server for any older MMO these days will always be made by fans for fans.
