I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who disagree about it being bad, but it was indeed classic. Unfortunately for any would-be-hybrid players, it seems that the intent of this server is to recreate the "classic" progression as faithfully as possible,warts and all.

I'm sorry, but that is just stupid. It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. It doesn't lessen the 'classic experience' to make it so certain classes won't be shunned for groups; not anymore than not having to stare at a spell book for thirty some levels does. They need to understand that while you can try to faithfully recreate the classic feel of the game, you can't put the internet knowledge genie back in the bottle. Back in the classic days, most people weren't aware of the hybrid xp penalty and very few people had even heard the term 'min/max'. It's different now and people's behaviors are different than they were back then.
Note: I understand the spellbook thing is a function of the client and can't be changed but they chose to use the Titanium client. They could have used the Velious client just as easily. I'm sure that client was still out there in people's hands and available. I know I still have my Luclin CDs kicking around in a box in the garage.
