Two things. First, remember nothing can truly be classic, because there's no way to mind wipe all the players.

Second, given fact #1, there needs to be some system for distributing scarce resources (ie. /list mobs). In classic, that system was a human GM. P99 can't have that system, because A) we don't have paid GMs like live did, only volunteers, and B) because of fact #1, there will be several orders of magnitude more fights here than on live.

/list is the "closest to classic" solution possible, because live GMs did in fact make players take turns (ie. "wait on lists") for disputed mobs. We have proof in fact.

So really the only unclassic part about list ... beyond the fact that /list lists go way beyond 8 hours, when Live GMs never clocked in for longer than that (which I'm hoping will change) ... is that we use a command instead of humans here. To me that seems reasonable, since we don't pay for said humans here like we did on live.
