In terms of design it's entirely up to the developer how they want to setup the server players will either like it or won't and plenty won't mince words about their personal feelings about it if they do hate it. I think a twist is a good thing generally if it's too classic you run the risk of coming off as just another rip off server of project 1999 with a smaller player base, but that's just my personal take on the matter honestly.

Honestly I cannot stand project 1999. They look down on multiboxers like we're cheaters. I multiboxed back in 1999 just fine, but then again I was in the 5% of EQ players whom had really good internet "Relatively" for the time.
That and I was a 10yr old that built computers and sold them to people rather than mowing lawns
!
Trying to recreate that classic feel without stepping on people's toes telling them they're evil if they don't play how I experienced the game back then :I.
