It would take about 5 minutes to develop a tool the GMs could put up on the website that randomly generates a date/time for the server reboot (within a certain range, obviously), the server gets rebooted at that time which everyone knows about and the state of raid pops is left to whatever it happened to evolve into until that point. Patches were generally known in advance, so this would continue with the simulation of classic-feeling.

Emergency maintenance/random outages are surprises to everybody, which is also classic.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
