Except you can't, because the core systems are not remotely similar to what they were 15 years ago:

XP gains are massively inflated vs original. (Killing a level 1 orc pawn will give a ****-ton more xp today than it did 15 years ago).
Defenses are massively inflated vs original. (@Level 1 a level 3 mob would facerape you 15 years ago but barely tickles you today).
Spells. (The spell system is radically different than it was 15 years ago).
Endurance. (Didn't exist 15 years ago).
Maps. (Not on your list, and GL preventing people from loading them).
Modern UIs. (Not on your list, and GL preventing people from loading a decent UI).
OOC. (Didn't exist then, and GL preventing people from sitting).
Etc.

This is what made Al'Kabor special and why the progression servers will never be period-correct without a massive time investment that won't ever happen.

You can't go back.
lol I just want to go post on drew's sonyEQ forum page saying "you can get all this and more at project1999.com!"
