You can't make a sandbox and say here come play in the sandbox! Then when you see how people play in the sandbox you say "oh no, not that way!", and you restrict, and restrict, and restrict until it's more akin to a linear on rails action adventure game instead of an mmo.
Everyone has a different version of what "Classic" everquest was to them based on server differences and how more or less hardcore you were during those times. We all mostly have like 20+ years of experience with this game and there's no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube and have everyone experience "classic" again for the first time.
The best thing you can do is accurately recreate the sandbox as close to 1 to 1 as you can and let people play within the sandbox however they will.
