Why must Legends of Norrath™ support and use of Station Cash™ to purchase in-game items not be included?
These features were added after the Classic era and thus not applicable, and they introduce out of era items which would severely detract from the Classic EverQuest experience. Most of all however, the goal of almost every item from these features is to make the game more easy and convenient, which goes against the gameplay style a Classic EverQuest server tries to achieve. A Classic EverQuest server would not be possible with these features included, because the gameplay style such a server tries to achieve requires the difficult rules from the Classic era without any compromises that contribute to easy mode gameplay, which philosophicly conflicts with the Classic style of gameplay.
