"Not Classic" only applies to SOE content after Velious?

[Ele]

Goal of the box = remake EQ from Original -> Kunark -> Velious. Not Luclin, not Planes of Power.

The custom content suggested by the devs wouldn't be added until Velious was stagnant for 2-4 years. We're talking 2018-2020 here. By that time, with the dynamic patching system in place, they can roll out new classic boxes every few years and eventually merge it into the ever stagnant blue server to start again.

Building a casino NPC as a proof of concept isn't breaking classic. It could be possible that the devs/CSR would prefer a casino NPC over having to devote time to dealing with scammers. Much like the implementation of FTE messages versus having to answer a petition every single time a boss spawned to figure out who was the rightful killer.
