What people here need to grasp is, the product Daybreak is offering is a progression server.
It will progress through all 22 Expansions of content. It's aimed at attracting players interested in playing all of that content, or atleast a decent chunk of it.
They currently have no desire to lock EQ to a certain timeframe and make a "classic server". So the amount of work that would be required to be put in to emulate classic on a server designed to only be in the "classic" era for a few months to a year isn't worth it to them.
I Expect to see a time locked server at some point in time and expect them to put a bit more effort into making it truly classic when that happens.
Still though - EXP potions need to be nuked. Buying fast track on a brand new progression server is dumb.
