SoE tried this once. The opened 2 servers with no content open except classic and they put a "time line" in place. They said that Vagy and Nox had to be killed before they would open Kunark....I am not sure of how long it took, but SoE had to scramble and put in a "set period of time". Seems two guilds did a zerg fest on both dragons and got them killed in weeks.
Kunark was same thing. Then Velious, etc etc. Both of those "classic" servers are caught up to the rest of the servers if I am not mistaken.
I seriously doubt SoE would ever consider rolling back the clock for a server.
What we should be talking about here, is everyone contributing some cash so Rogean will quit his job and work solely on getting Kunark out for us!! (insert funny sarcasm here)

The reality is that SOE did a poor implementation of the progression servers. There was a lot of newer code in the old world. For example, casting NPC's were much harder than they should have been. Mistmoore for example is heavy with casters and in the progression servers, people were getting their asses handed to them. Also, in Qeynos Hills there was an area where people could enter an instanced zone and get some very powerful items. The list goes on. They should have implemented a time-lock so that people could enjoy the old zones. I think they should have unlocked expansions at a rate which matches the original release rates.
As pointed out by others though, SOE was also concerned about the amount of players which were stripped from their standard servers. It is for this reason that we will not see a "Classic" server released from SOE until perhaps the end of life for the live servers.
The closest you can get to the classic feel is to get a Mac computer and sign up on Al Kabor. I almost did that until I discovered this server. This is my new home!
