I think as Zyth stated, P99 is the most accurate real EQ there is.

Since AlKaBOR closed not in such a distant past, its code (pop era? luclin era?) will likely be preserved, somewhere.

But I doubt we will ever see real classic EQ again. Its not impossible.

We can dream. Dream that someone involved with sony or verant or something kept the server code somewhere, on some old hard drive and dredges it up for posterity.

Takp was fun. But it isn't classic either.

My favorite thing about classic was that there was a distinct end to the journey and that everything was cohesively framed within a thematic vision.

Gear mattered but wasn't critical to enjoying the experience or exploring most of Norrath. Quests were for flavor and fun. Not a progressive treadmill. I feel like velios was the start of MMO progression and World of Warcraft was its perfection.

I yearn for the time the game was art and the pictures in Highkeeps salons where what was important.
