I beg to differ. There where huge changes in gameplay over the years. The most prominent would be the melee revamp(imho a much needed upgrade for 2h weapons)around SoL launch. Most of this has to be changed/implemented in the server code.
So what is truly classic? If you "only" look at the changes(mostly nerfs) that went in from the day EQ launched to the day Kunark hit the shelves you will be quite overwhelmed.
But it is my option too that is a waste of time and effort to try to get an really old client to work with eqemulator. Not to mention the legal problems, not everyone still has his EQ, Kunark or Velious game CDs.
