xp penalties is what seperate EQ from the watered down games out there.
It makes you consider your attack methods. Without it, you can just run in and try anything to see if you can do it or not with no consequences.

I think he's talking about the xp penalties on certain classes & races.
The reasoning behind the penalties were kind of stupid and definitely didn't make the game better. Frankly speaking without AA's you have a game where 3 classes are barely used (which lets be honest wasn't classic... back in the day there were tons of hybrid melee). Frankly we need to add some limited AA's or directly modify certain classes so they can be competitive. Otherwise you end up in a situation that you're keeping all the faults that SOE eventually fixed under a banner of nostalgia.
Also no maps is kinda stupid too (oh but it makes it classic)... not really because all everyone did was alt tab to look at a map... so alt tab versus hitting M.
You can add quality of life changes and still be considered classic. I know I'm a radical here and all lol.
