You're both right. It's unclassic to not have recharging because people absolutely did it on live ... but if you have it, the whole game becomes unclassic. In classic 99+% of Mages did not have root; if you allow the nets then most Mages (unclassicaly) will have root.

Personally I think recharging should be something introduced later. After all, on live no one knew how to recharge on day one: they had to learn about it from others.

It'd be fun if the devs staggered it to simulate live (eg. after six months of play each player has a 10%/month chance to unlock recharging) ... but a much more realistic implementation would just be to start a server with no recharging, and allow it (say) a year into Velious.
