When server has been running in classic mode for 8 years - its has stopped being classic a very long time ago.
When people make an alt and give him gazillion bone chips/bat wings/orc belts to level up for 10-15 levels in 1 hour, and then twink them up with raid tier gear... Yeah, "classic spirit" my arse.

I see what you're saying but it can be some what classic if you want it to be. Twinking is a choice people can make but there is no EQ law that says you have to.
I just discovered P99 about a year ago. So in 2018 I was playing classic. It was my first character, I knew no one playing and had nothing but a cloth shirt and club to start my EQ life with. It was a grind just to afford all my spells as I reached each new spell level.
Now for my second character (cleric) I choose not to twink him with the druids PP. Now that's not to say I didn't have an easier time buying spells. I did use the druid to buy and deliver all the cleric spells each new spell level. But that was it. My Cleric is now currently wearing all KC gear that he looted from his own kills or groups kills.
I have a paladin and a Ranger who don't even have gear. The ranger has a bloodstained tunic that my cleric used to wear and they both have a KC weapon I looted with my cleric and passed onto them. Nothing special though as each weapon sells for less then 100pp in the EC tunnel. No fungi tunics or 5K+ weapons. I will let them loot their own gear minus the weapons they currently have and the BS tunic.
And I always earn every level with mob kills. I did back then and I still do it now. No belt questing for me. I enjoy grinding out the early levels in EC, Sro and Oasis just like I did back in 2000.
