Removing PVP xp death, adding yellow text, and nerfing the tranquil staff would probably take about 5 minutes. Those are all literally 1 liners.

Implementing the classic resist system is also a 1-liner if the pvpresistX stuff is in the database and I understand things correctly:

resist = ((targetlevel-casterlevel)*(pvpresistbase-pvpresistmax)/pvplevelrange + pvpresistbase + GetResist()) > Random(0, pvpresistcalc-pvpresistbase)

Note that true classic resists do not equal trivial immunity to root. Lucy has Fetter at pvpresistmax = -49, pvpresistbase = 12, pvpresistcalc = 135. So a L60 would be immune at 123MR and a L52 at 184MR. If there is an enchanter around with the 50% SZ debuff bonus, you'd need 183MR. At 150MR as an even con with tash (effective 90MR) you'd only resist 75% of the time.
