There's been a ton of servers like this. Check out this video:

Blood of the Akkadian, Edge, Enlightened Dark: Ascension, Sanctuary, etc. All have/had a ton of custom content. Some have been more successful than others.

The problem with most servers, imo, is the amount of boxing required to progress. No one has any idea how to balance a server around 'classic' mechanics.

Any of these still active? Havent really played any eq since sanctuary died

Exactly. P99 is the most successful due to player population. If someone starts something up and attracts a player base that stays around and it grows, then you have great success.

Another problem is the admins or creators of new servers tend to do what they want with their sandbox, which has some people flaming...and so on and so forth....
