Personally, having been spoilt with the ultra-convenient WoW (and having seen features for convenience being implemented over the course of 7 years), there are some things that I take for granted in an MMO today. The lack of convenience doesn't necessarily make a game tougher or more "hardcore", since it can be applied to aspects of the game that doesn't directly influence the game play.
There are a lot of things taken from modern MMOs that I'd want to put in P1999 while still retaining the classic EQ feel, but narrowing it down to two, I'd pick:
- Mailing items/money between characters (and also between your own characters).
- Increased clip plane (to match Skyrim's perhaps
