I haven't felt that way in a long time

Do you think pulling every single mob in ToV to zoneline is classic?

Well i played in that era, and it isn't.

I personally don't obsess about classic or not classic so I'm not supporting an argument in opposition to the ToV change BUT, I see this posted a lot and I'm not sure I agree that it matters. The goal is (or was) for the server content to be as classic as possible, not for the tactics that players use be as identical as possible. Players try out new strategies all the time, and our knowledge base is far deeper and far more shared than it ever was in-era. Since we're locked in Velious as our end game, the same things have been experimented on and analyzed for years and years.

Having said that, with the earlier changes that poster mentioned, as well as this recent change to ToV and the discussions between staff regarding how to deal with ToV (including instances being on the table) I think arguing about what is and isn't "classic" has become irrelevant. That's not to say I lust for custom content, just that the powers that be have placed 'Health of the Server' over 'Strict adherence to classic'.
