Almost all of that is due to attack speed being too slow.

All classes are considerably more powerful as well, not just a fault of the NPC's speed.

That's because PC damage calc is about 100% wrong. But even just making raid stuff attack faster (raid content should be between 10 and 20 attack delay usually) does greatly increase the difficulty of the content.

There must be old log files that can be parsed. Even without knowing the class and gear of the chars in the file, it would still give an image.

Does anyone have any log files from 1999-2002 or knows where to get them?

Can you point me a bit more towards it? I see you receiving logfiles per PM and Akkadius providing an upload link. But how do I get them?
I'm not intested in the auctions from ragefire even though the numbers there are impressive

Sadly enough, I really did not get anything of value. Torven did have some logs from EqMac before they shut down.

Not arguing that. No matter how you choose to bring the difficulty back there's not a single change solution.
