That is what you would do, cept it goes deeper then just content. Some people just want the feeling back of when their favorite MMO was new and want to relive memories of that new and fresh feeling. While I didn't play XI, i played EQ. Yeah by today's standards its old, slow and clunky, but it does have memories. That's enough of a reason for the people that support classic servers.

Its what funnels things like Project 1999 and the PSU private servers which i maybe wrong now but the last time I stayed up to date with them are still going strong. It shows people support these things. When SOE was thinking about sunsetting the EQMAC server. A server that hasn't seen an expansion or a game update in over 10 years due to the games mac port being abandoned but the server remained. The servers entire population, and yes it had a pretty sizable population all rallied together and in the end SOE kept the server going.

People like reforging new memories in favorite games with others who want the same.
