Also, as an aside and a response to the other comment, the first EQ rules were put in place less than a year after launch.
There are obviously multiple definitions of classic. Was MQing done at all in classic? 100%!

But did most players even know MQing was a thing in classic? Absolutely not! Look, I don't think the majority even read sites like Allakhazam: I think most saw them as the equivalent of reading the cheat guide (remember the entire idea of a MMOG was completely new; most weren't MUD players).

Like so many things here, it just boils down to re-creating classic mechanics vs. trying to actually recreate the game from '99-'01, and the P99 folks have all but given up on the latter.
