Advantages of starting on a fresh server

[bridgetroll]

First of all, not trying to get the server wiped or anything, just have a genuine curiosity.

What are the advantages of starting on a fresh classic server, no added expansions? Specifically referring to items that may eventually get removed from game or skills/items that get nerfed because they are too OP.

Off the top of my head:

1. Manastone
2. Fire pot bind spot

Ehh, that's really all I can think of. I've only ever played servers (even live) that were in kunark or later.

Thanks in advance.
