It's not intended to be "classic" in the way P99 approaches it. P99 does "classic"(just call it golden age EQ cuz its actually not classic!) better than any server out there. There's no disputing it. The problem lies at endgame. Its fucking testicular cancer. Why anyone would get a taste of it, and choose to stay there when there are better options for your EQ fix, i will never know. So thats where phin/agnarr come in. IMO they are adding the old models and whatnot just for that extra nostalgia kick. The game mechanics are completely different and are not intended to be classic in any way. Raiding is the big draw for me. Are you an adult with shit to do and can only raid on a schedule? You will like agnarr/phin if yes. QoL improvements are too numerous to name, but lets just say its less annoying to do shit in this version of EQ. I remember a point in P99's life where maps were enabled in the newb zones. I see why they removed them, but its just an example. Also, you cannot just spawn your own instance of any zone you want and just farm whatever. Once a zone reaches its threshold, another instance pops open, and you are able to /pickzone to it. I think the number is 40-45 or something? Thats assuming the zone you want is able to be instanced, which not all are. They also changed how this works recently so you cant just lock down a pick and farm shit.

It is really pretty simple once you look at it... You have the "Loot" button first, then the "Leave button" these are your one off choices similar to the original loot window of just loot it or leave it on the corpse. Then you have check boxes for "Always need" and "always greed" for any group set up for a rolling loot option. Then you have "Never" which is your never loot this button. That means that from now on when you loot a corpse this item won't even show up in the loot window because you are now ignoring it completely as if it wasn't there. Pretty simple concept.

they shoulda implemented this "never" option as liek a spell that you have to cast and it affect whatever on you cursor, but liek only give the spell to liek maybe enchanters and rogues, so you gotta work with the community to get youself blinded to all the junk you not want.

I remember first playing phinny that adv loot window drove me nuts. Once i got used to it, things were better.

Still prefer looting corpses for items but it does make things easy.

The advanced loot is one of the only notable differences at first. That and you get spells every level,never have to go to trainer to get abilities (that I've experienced), and you get an origin ability every hour to gate to your starting guildhall.

The most offensive thing to classic is the indifferent aug merchant in every town that sells weapon/caster augments. That and the find/maps of course.

I'm still really looking forward to Agnarr though. Partly because p99 helped me with my classic fix before hand.
