I thought the Project 2010 server was a cool idea, if it was EQ expansions done right, where instead of the dumbing down of the server to WoW standards it would continue in the vein of the Classic server ie no spires, no books, no nexus, no PoK (or repopulate it with mobs as a high end zone?), no Bazaar, and use the other zones beyond Velious as additional content but aligned with the core philosophy of the Classic server. Seems real exciting to me!

This is the question that I have to ask those of you who were fans of the original game back in 1999:
Were the newer zones the reason why the game was ruined for you? From what I have seen, most Classic EQ fans do not like SOE's Live server anymore, not because of all the new zone content, but because they nerfed a lot of the hardcore mechanics.
So why couldn't we have a server (not this server) that added the new content from later expansions, but kept the hardcore features still intact? For example, I would LOVE to play LDoN, but still lose my equipment on death, not have book/portal stones, and still see the Classic models using Velious armor.
There ought to be a server that tries to set things as they should have been with the newer zone content before SOE nerfed the old/hard-core mechanics.
