Doesn't compute to me that it would be possible to continue playing without having the latest expansion considering those droppable items made their way into the market.
But yeah back in classic live I only stepped foot in antonica and kunark, never went to velious and played through Luclin and I believe PoP release (stopped when there was a large exodus of people after EQ2 and WoW were announced/released).
Back then I never guilded. Naggy and Vox were open raids for all 52s on server which were organized by a handful of folks (that I assisted with). I remember a Vox raid taking a couple of hours typically from when Vox spawned until the word got out accross the server that anyone with a 52 should head over to permafrost, then clearing basically the entire zone so we didn't train ourselves, then spending prolly 30 minutes in OOC/Shout spewing out raid instructions to everyone, then going in and making an attempt.
I was able to complete my entire bard epic minus phinny which was really only being killed by raiding guilds with 1-2 groups of people and the loot was still rare enough that they weren't entertaining any type of loot right or MQ opportunity for a tagless bard.
