That's definitely a good way of putting it. Although my OP was a bit spastic.
I'm a big supporter of being as classic as possible. That having been said, it isn't possible to be 100% classic. This server gets close - it gets close enough. They can't help that the maps show up in newbie zones. However, that is not entirely a bad thing. Perhaps more brand new EQ players will be retained than would not if there were no newbie maps.

EQ has a pretty steep learning curve, in particular compared to modern MOs. Back in the day when we were completely lost upon creation of our first char (not just geographically) we persisted. In part because there was not much option. Today there are plenty of options. So, maps in the newbie zones? Seems like there might even be some good in it.
