I realized that P1999 wasn't classic within my first week when I realized that I couldn't set up shop in Steamfont at the fallen gear and be within spell range of 5 skeleton spawns with a druid like I could on old retail. It was kinda sweet to easy-mode level from 9 to 12 doing the tree illusion for free health thing while doing the porcupine melee routine without moving an inch.
The Hole entrance was probably the most annoying thing for me that was different from old retail though. On old retail on Fennin Ro I could take my Magician to the entrance right out of the pool and single pull elementals to fight using my groovy anti-summon nukes for sweet experience and the odd piece of loam armor. Every elemental on both rows was spaced apart in their own nooks so that they didn't care when one behind it was pulled forward to you. Sadly, not here on P1999. That was such a great spot back in the day.
My bitching aside, it's the raid scene that defines how P1999 isn't classic by far. People are just super strange about pixels.
