I would love to see a classic only server. Problem is what Tenderizer mentioned, over-crowding.
It would be an interesting solution to launch a server with Classic + Kunark BUT do not itemize Kunark at all (maybe a few exceptions like keys for Seb / HS). Do not even put any raid content (this means no epics, no keys to VP, no Gore in DL, etc).
I would love it if Crafted Armor on warriors stayed relevant, and SSoYs reigned supreme. Opening with Kunark as a solution to over-crowding would be great. I would say keep level cap at 50 as well, no iksar starting races allowed.
Kunark itemization instantly killed nearly all Vanilla items, it was a damn shame (i.e. buy Kunark or you won't be able to compete, typical marketing strategy for games).
On 2nd thought, maybe do include raid mobs with some slight itemization (maybe like that 13/24 trash scimitar in VP). Could help open up planes raiding in vanilla for folks.
Hell, would Velious even be a good idea to keep? No armor questing or game changing itemization either. Would be interesting in Velious using vanilla gear / spells to try and down raid content.
This idea just keeps sounding funner and funner. What do y'all think? I'm getting a little slippery slope with it.
