For most intents and purposes, he was part of classic as nothing more than a legend. He was, with almost 100% certainty, never killed on Live. If something is removed in the very first patch and never reinstated, it is not a part of the game.

He was rumored to drop the Fanged Skull Stiletto (the dagger mentioned here) "very early in release."

I have my reservations about creating content based on rumors. The fact remains that you've gone to great lengths to provide an experience as close to classic as at all possible and then you go and add something that none of us ever experienced because it was never realistically possible (if he was ever really in the game post-launch, it was for too short a time for anyone to get to kill him). On top of that, the stiletto is so vastly superior to existing items that it completely skews the itemization, and scarcity is not a valid justification. 12/22 is endgame Kunark quality.

The day before the server launched, I spawned lots of raid mobs in gfaydark and allowed the remaining testers to fight them. I heard NO complaints about Mayong and people seemed to think it was a great fight.

This would not seem like a serious enough event to warrant relevant comments. If I had seen you load up random raid mobs for shits and giggles, I wouldn't bother to point out any inconsistencies as the scenario would be way out of context, especially prior to launch.

Also, no one complained about him until he was killed.. really guys, almost 2 months?

It seems logical that the problem does not occur to people until it is brought to their attention. I would venture to guess that many were unaware of his existence since, you know, he's not supposed to exist.
If I played on the server, I would feel a significant breach of integrity and athenticity. What are you going to do next, create the zone between Highpass and RunnyEye that was intended but never developed?
