yea, i like PoP w/o PoK, and AA's up to w/e level you would go to.
Make PoK a 46+ zone and disable all those stones to the cities in there to link up to the planes in PoT (and put the PoT quests into pok) All gear/items would be no drop or required level 50+, All zones, past velious should be flagged or required levels so you dont see a trickle back effect to the classic 3.
Raid progression, is where all the good eye candy drops are spose to be anyway.
Sure, a nostalgic player will see twink items from bosses in the classic 3 on alts, but they wont see super ridiculous gear/items from 3 expansions later on some level 35 that they wont be able to attain for some time, if ever, this would help keep nostalgic era stuff somewhat nostalgic.
(keep high end gear on high end players and classic in its respected areas)
Luclin has to many casual low zones in the mix, Dont make the mistake sony did by releasing expansion after expansion that can be casually played with new cities, it just dumbs things down (and it wont stick to a semi classic style, the old cities would die just like live)
I dont think everyone wants to relive ALL of everquest...just relive classic and the few early expansions.
New scripts/encounters/direction, if well thought out would rock imo
