Why do we need a special server just to apply abyssea entry restrictions?

This is just going to start up the level lock abyssea/don't level lock it war again...

If you want to play "Classic" FFXI, I would say just uninstall the expansions...

As others have said, if you want to play the old fashioned way, just find some like-minded people and do it. No one's holding a gun to your head and telling you you have to level a certain way.
