My guess is you will recoil in horror at the unclassicness.
From what I saw, it is essentially a snapshot of EQ in 2005/2006 (When Titanium was released). The key changes are: 3 expansions, only items from those expansions exist and spell effects from classic.
Most of the engine uses Titanium mechanics, values and stats. You get maps, compass, vendor descriptions under vendor names. The zones are quite inaccurate as far as content goes from what I saw. Tons of mobs that weren't around in classic, more spawns, more decaying skeletons for instance in several zones than were in classic.
In my opinion, it would almost seem more feasible to create a Classic-Velious themed live guild that only participated in old world encounters.
Nice idea, but it really shows just how amazingly dedicated the Project 1999 staff is to this project.
