It's hard to emulate a classic experience when we've changed so much. We know all the content and tricks and min maxing, we know how to push everything to the limit. We aren't running on dial up modems and getting knocked offline because someone called your house. We aren't brand new to the internet and figuring out how to search for information about how to answer any problem you have.
Basically, if you want to be classic, you want to just kind of retard yourself and hobble yourself. Which won't ever happen because you can't unknow what you already know.
So, thanks for the changes. Make as much as you can to make it kind of a shitty but fun experience. I dunno. I'm totally okay with a simulated classic i.e. "how do we make it the same nonsense in today's world."
like what's the equivalent of a 56k modem? and parental controls and america online?
I dunno. Figure those out, and do them, and cool beans yall.
Also, Hey Nirgon! How ya doin!

That is the old argument that was used to justify the initial changes. The classic experience is not wanted exactly and tbh can never be recreated. It's just the classic game, as it was.
The GMs did address players in era but people see it as only what was addressed in era. What had changed since doesn't factor.
"I want the car restored but not exact, like they came from the factory with some rust on their tailpipes. I don't need that for it to be classic"
It has turned into all around un-classicness to address the players. Maybe they don't need addressing at all now and we should just be happy anyone plays a 20 year old MMORPG.
