Spires are PoP, so Wizards and Druids still relevant to get around once on the moon.

The automatic "suck everyone in the area to Nexus" (which made Wizard ports fun) behavior started in Luclin. Tox, NK, GFay, and DL all had ports that fired off every 15 minutes.
PoP added the books, at which point druids and wizards went from being useful transportation classes to nearly superfluous, except for powerlevelling SoW bots (druids), and Hate/Sky - which were only entered for Epics, really - wizards. Why raid in a zone you need to spend a bunch of plat per-group to get in when you can just click a book in the new expansion everyone bought and hey look at all this shiny new gear that's better?
We went from Rangers and Rogues whining that they were useless (in Classic) to Druids and Wizards whining that they were useless. The difference is Rangers and Rogues eventually got pumped in Kunark / Velious, enough that they're not the pariahs they were on classic.
There's a reason this server stops at Velious. To paraphrase the Matrix, There is no Moon.
If you wanna be a mooncat, TAKP is a functioning project, and also supports 3-boxing, pet windows, keyrings, cycle targets, and the like. Their client is also period-correct so you have fewer limitations than the Titanium client all the other emu servers use - none of this high-falutin /autoinventory goodness, which I'm sure is next on the chopping block.
Their population is also a lot lower than P99's.
The reason why is an exercise for the reader.
