It'd be a small non-classic change that would have an enormous impact to make the game-play feel more like it was back in 99/00. I'd argue that it would make it more classic.

Re-introduce dungeon crawling, exploring, etc. No more skipping 90% of the content to camp a single room in a dungeon where years of experience has shown a named will spawn 15% of the time and drop your valuable loot item 25% of the time.

OH no! We'd have to search for stuff like people did back in classic!

And while the "content" can be replicated to the letter, the "spirit" couldn't.
One or the other have to be sacrificed...

Honestly, I am a person who more cares for the "spirit" rather than the "content", but re-incarnation of eq spirit would be better done in a whole new custom server project, which would look similar to Classic, but different just enough to bring back the novelty, exploration and the unknown [You must be logged in to view images.
