That's false. Classic never introduced QoL features, only to then let the players get used to them, for years, and then systematically take them away. You're confused with how Classic worked UP, compared to how P1999 is working DOWN. That's the problem in a nutshell.
If we never had Blue and Green opened tomorrow, based on the latest patch, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of response.

So it's the staff's fault for providing a less classic version of EverQuest so we could openly beta test for them in the meantime? Every patch has served as a warning for what else might be removed. If you didn't see this coming, you weren't reading the bug forums. The alternative is EQClassic. You can always go there and pine away in the Reminiscent Discussion. But that's about it because they're still Loading, Please Wait...
Also classic did roll back QoL features, which caused similar reactions as we're seeing now, and players then didn't have enough time to get as used to those features as they have on Project1999. That's the problem in a nutshell and it's hardly one to complain about. They let us play here, longer than the three years of classic, with the understanding that the content wasn't within the timeline but would be.
Originally, Velious Breastplates for Clerics had a heal over time clicky, but that had to be changed to Mark of Karn. There are numerous other examples and while the changes occurred within the span of weeks or months, remember that there was an actual company overseeing all of this back then, supported by monthly subscriptions, and not restricted to the Titanium client.

Q: What changed with Levitate on the last patch?
A: Levitate was changed so that if you already have the Levitate spell on your character, no other levitate effect will take hold. This was done to prevent a certain abuses of the spell which involved chain casting levitate to reach areas which were not designed to be player accessible.
To get your levitation spell renewed, you can click to dispel it (this is one of the few spells that everybody can click to remove). Once the spell has been removed, you will be able to have it renewed.
Bards were unintentionally hurt with these changes - their song will not overwrite its own levitate effect. This error will be fixed with the next patch.
