That's such a stupid slippery slope argument and this is a very odd sort of passive aggressive post in general.

The stamina thing is so minor I doubt 98% of EQ users would even remember it much less give a shit.

The spellbook is out of their hands.. the client has progressed and you can't lock people into a full screen spellbook anymore even if you wanted to.

Both are extremely minor grievances and don't really open the door at all to major changes you list like OOC regen and corpse summoners which change the entire feel of the game.

To be fair, I don't necessarily agree with the hardline approach they've taken to preserving "classic" rules - the hybrid XP penalty is completely retarded as a concept, and I'd love to see things like Guise and Rubi persist until Kunark. But with those more fundamental changes I can understand the counter argument that it opens the door to too many other changes.. if you remove hybrid XP why not soulbinders and the rest.

So I'd say they have been pretty critical about what to keep.. every major feature and system of classic EQ exists on this server. You're just being ridiculous.
