Interesting idea, would be nice to test such server that caps somewhere pre-Kunark (listed below update points), I joined during Kunark so I'm not too familiar with pre-Kunark but from seeing patch notes, below seem to be some key updates:
- Plane of Fear launch Jul 26, 1999, so CT loots and one more raid content, Russet and Cryosilk set
- Temple of Solusek Ro launch Oct 13, 1999, and update on Kedge Keep a couple weeks after, it seems this is the time where Manastone and Rubicite armor along with many other items became no longer dropping or questable, while introducing the mid-level class armors to replace the Rubicite and mid level quests (Temple of Sol Ro related or not, like Buring Rapier with pre-buff stats and Paw of Opolla)
- Plane of Hate launch Nov 3, 1999
- Plane of Sky launch Jan 20, 2000, even with pre-buff items, the quested items are really Kunark level gear stat-wise so probably less desirable for such server point
- Paineel launch Feb 17, 2000
- Kunark launch Apr 24, 2000
- The Hole launch Jun 22, 2000 (thus not really pre-Kunark)
Many items that exist and quest in classic zones that are too good for their difficulty should be post-Kunark only, like Dragoon Dirk (updated from something crappier), Ivandyr's Hoop, Fanged Skull Stiletto (GM event, turning Stano's Head to Hanns)
