Maybe you need to read the word trying a few more times."real classic mechanics"
Outside of game code, which was buggy (still is buggy, really. and well documented in exactly what ways. And you patch buggy things out of games, because that's how that works) you can't really try to argue about people's behaviours being "Classic"
Amendments happen for a reason, guuuuuuuy.
There was a rule for awhile that then wasn't a rule anymore.
Can we stack swords to infinite heights for a couple months to satisfy what you think of as well and truly Classic, or do you just really like this one mechanic and you're passionate enough about it to the point of madness?
Cause it can be one, both, or neitherI think it will keep the numbers more stable and consistent.
The way it did on Live, when they changed this oddly specific thing you miss because it was genuinely toxic. This is actually true, but not really relevant to anything you're fighting for.

I think he might be arguing that original eq is inseparable from the player base originally found there. There were lots of noobs, roleplayers from Table Top, sheer assholes as many were coming hot off the heels of Ultima Online. Those things did shape what to expect from the game when you logged on, they were part of the game and the memory.
Granted things do change, there is no real way to recapture that aspect. I wouldn't mind having a time machine to go back and experience it myself for a bit, if anything just to get away from 2019 people using Canadian descriptors such as Toxic. A bunch of female halflings marching around Misty Thicket carrying "No Hate Speech" signs. Angry about me stealing their bixie stonehive honies.
