The team here is doing a great job.
Personally, I think Nilbog and the P99 team are more in-tune with what folks want out of a retro classic experience (slowly expanding, heavy focus per expanion) than Sony with their Progression servers.
edit: the point is: why move?

Only value I see in live is live. Live is best at being live. Live can't make a better classic server than project1999 anyway because there's too much red tape preventing them from doing so. They could never get away with it. Players on live demand all of the latest stuff. If they're going to use the old zones in a meaningful way that can grab some old players, it'll be entirely new and hopefully exciting with little resemblance to 1999.
You know, I wish they'd reorganize the whole world. Live is so mixed up right now like a messy room, and things don't make sense most of the time. Defiant items obsoleted old content so there's no reason to use it. Old zones are low polygon versus new zones. Some quests use the task window and some don't. Quests in new zones are so much better than the ones in old zones. So many inconsistent traits that have accumulated over 10 years. It would need big changes. Maybe even throw out some of hte expansions. Throw out big additions like defiant armor. Make the homecities purposeful. Make pok an outpost as opposed to the main city. Reinvent the game. Make it fresh and new by comparison to what it is now. Allow people to move around freely on their own. Put travel in their hands (ex: bind in multiple places). Don't need corpse runs or hell levels. So much I could say but not enough room in this post. Take the best of what eq was in 1999 and the best of what eq is in 2010 and mix them together. Keep the eq of 2010-11, as we know it, on a special classic server. The new one would encompass several servers. If they could do it right, now that would be fun!
But honestly, they're better off just making EQ3. And, EQ2 runs circles around EQ1, so why waste time. There's a lot in EQ2 I'd love to see in EQ1. I really don't know why someone would pick WoW over EQ2.
