There is no such thing as replicating the exact classic EQ from 1999-2001 in 2011. We, the player base, know far too much about the game and that drastically alters how we play it in comparison to 1999-2001. IF the Everquest of 1999-2001 had continued on to this day, I'm 100% sure that there would have been plenty of changes to improve the QUALITY and the playing experience of the game. Any change I suggest is along those lines.

That's all fine and dandy that the players know too much to have a truly classic experience, but it doesn't change the fact that the goal of the developers is to recreate classic EQ as closely as possible while following the timeline up to Velious.

As for "any proposed changes are contradictory to that goal", then why are the developers constantly entertaining notions of altering the game to provide a further experience from what existed pre-Luclin? I very much appreciate what they are doing but I believe they will have to eventually think about making alterations to p1999, if they haven't already, such that it is classic EQ but with further modifications that the ORIGINAL GAME DESIGNERS (following their original vision and not their $$$ vision) would have likely carried out themselves to improve (re)playability and fix existing issues.

And where do you see all these notions being entertained? I don't see that anywhere, nor does anyone else. The only thing remotely close to what you're talking about is nilbog stating that after Velious is out for awhile perhaps doing custom content from there, since the goal of the server from the get-go was to recreate classic up to Velious. Custom shit before Velious is 100% contradictory to the goal and point of the server, and wont be here.
I mean, there's some stuff that isn't classic I (and many) people wouldn't mind seeing, but that is not the point of the server, and that's not what they will be doing.
