I think the finish on this particular TLE will leave a sour taste in many mouths. I think the next TLE for me would have to be totally disconnected from the live servers, which I seriously doubt will ever happen.
They should put the effort in to make a real classic/progression experience with real suburbs, old quests back in etc. to get alot more people back to play. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. I know of the code bla bla gone etc. i dont believe thats true though
If you wanted something closer to "authentic" classic EQ2, about the latest you could feasibly go back is to LU58. LU59 and onward was pretty much the point that they started taking a sledgehammer to mechanics and itemization. I can't see that happening unfortunately.
