I think if you ask most people on this server they will say "I quit when Y expansion came out, so I'd like to see a server with every expansion up to X". Now since people tended to leave in waves after certain expansions (Velious, Luclin, PoP and LDoN), those are the most popular choices. In general though I don't think there's any "right" answer to when the "classic era" ended because different people left at different times and thus miss different expansions.
But, here on P99 there is exactly one right answer: Velious. Rogean/Nilbog/anyone else who has a say in the matter hates Luclin, so this server will never include anything from Luclin (nor will any other server made by them). They've been very clear about this in their postings.
The only sad part to me is that if someone did want to make a Luclin/PoP/whatever server, they'll have to start with the crappy EQ Emulator base instead of the really awesome P99 base. Someday I hope the devs will find some way to allow others to build from their progress, but since they seem very much against the idea (to prevent cheating if nothing else) I don't see it ever happening.
