Just take the game back to Pre-CURB and then adjust the current quests/content to fit the system. Fix all the bugs (Hero of Tatooine, etc...), auto-pack to players datapads all homes, revert all harvesters/faactories to deeds in inventories, reduce all cities to the Outpost level, open all zoning for cities for 1 week, keep Elder Politicians at master to allow for the rebuilding of all cities. Adjust the loot tables in respect to weapons & armour to make Armoursmiths and Weaponsmiths to be able to compete on the market. Keep a weapon damage cap, but re-implement slicing to allow the % changes that were able before the CURB hit. Re-introduce every profession that was removed by the NGE. Keep the Spy profession and have it accessable via Master Scout/Master Marksman. Return the 250 point system, the Random Unlock of Jedi for all non-Elders, make all non-Master BH/Master Spy/Master Medic/Master Entertainer/Master Commando/Master Smuggler/Master Traders respec to a new template/profession. Allow all Master Entertainers to pick the profession(s) in the Entertainer &/or Other Professions that they want to pursue. Allow all Master Traders to keep Master Merchant and a second Crafting Mastery plus any xx44 (or 4x4x, 44xx, x44x combo) in any other profession.

I like the ideas except no Ch.
I dont think they could do this because they would piss off soooo many 1337 Jedi that are playing the game now. And on a classic server, I dont think anyone would really care for any type of game play enhancement. I think your approach would work though, just concentrate on adding content. New armor, weapons, Skill tapes, and dungeons(for lack of a beter term). Very well thought out though.

Start the Frak over.
Or load up pub 3 and let it roll from there.
