Come the day that all Sky quests are rewritten to be multiquestable, Dark Cloak of the Sky would instantly become the most desirable item in the entire game were they to de-nerf it and make it inventory-clickable for everyone. Keeper of the Souls (and probably island 2-3 mobs as well) would become insanely contested, and given the time-locked state of the server, what you'd eventually end up with would be unrecognizable from live EverQuest during the same era. You could make the same argument about SoulFire, but I'd imagine SoulFire abuse was more ubiquitous on live simply because acquiring one wasn't restricted to the small window of opportunity that DCotS was.
So this is an instance where it'd be wiser to go the slightly-less-than-classic route, because those means would be justified by a more classic end.
