Would we want classicly "broken" quests fixed on p99?

[Toomuch]

So I've been hunting in Burning Woods a lot lately (bard in his 50's, go figure), and I've killed some giants from time to time. I've seen a Petrified Charred Branch (http://wiki.project1999.com/Petrified_Charred_Branch) drop twice. As you can see by looking at the link on the p99 wiki, it's for nothing.

However, it appears it wasn't actually SUPPOSED to be for nothing. I str8 up googled it, and found this: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=8467, which led me to this: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=8466 . Apparently on live they only just recently fixed these long-broken quests, probably mostly because of Agnarr and old-world stuff getting a closer look at it again.

I was looking through some of these items, and they don't seem to be overpowered or anything. In fact, they seem to have been intended to be in the game all along, if some of the drops for the quests and quest NPC's are in the game anyways.

My opinion is that it'd be really cool/good to add these to the game, especially as we're just about out of any new content, aside from the Chardok 2.0 patch. It'd be a cool way to add some content, which was supposed to be there in the classic game in the first place, and would add just a little bit of new life to the server (IMO). I know I'll get a few staunch "NOT CLASSIC NOPE NO WAY JOSE" kinds of responses, but hey, it's not like I'm proposing Luclin or PoP or anything here, just fixing what's broken and looks like should have been "Classic Kunark" all along.

Has anything like this (fixing old "broken" quests on p1999) ever been discussed before? What does everyone think?

...but when the custom content hits, I think this would be a great addition for sure. Fixed as intended etc.

Then we would get all the Iksar epics, which would be great.

All the code was there for them to launch at Kunark, and gives the Iksars something else to work towards.

It's true that in the official classic time period the devs never completed classic quest series like the Iksar "epics", the 8th shawl quest, the rest of the Qeynos Badge quests, or a ton of other minor things like Ry'Gor orcs giving CC dwarf faction. Because all those happened on live the're part of EQ, but because they were never completed before 2001 they're not classic.

But here's the thing: once Green is released Blue could potentially have custom content. And not just any custom content but classically-themed custom content, the kind of content that feels like it would have happened at Verant if Aradune had stuck around.

If the devs ever decide to go with custom content on Blue I would absolutely love to see the best "classic changes" from live cherry-picked on to Blue. And they wouldn't have to be the live versions even: I'd love any 8th shawl quest that incorporates blacksmithing, but if Nilbog thinks the quest is too easy or that the 8th shawl on live is too powerful for the Velious era he could just make a different P99 version instead.

To me, a server that's basically classic (eg. no moon cats), but with fixes for all the things that never got fixed in classic, plus some totally new but also totally classic-feeling P99 dev-created content, would really be the perfect "classic" server. Others might disagree, but by the time anything like this could even happen they'd have their idea of a perfect "classic" server anyway (Green).
