I had a somewhat similar idea awhile back. If you keep it to EQ classic zones only or up through Velious as cutoff point while included AA's and making it a 4-way faction based pvp with no corpse retrieval and retaining items upon death and I'd be quite interested by it. Even if that's just a start off point and the goal is to eventually have it pure custom spawns/loot it could draw interest and build up a player base.
I worked on doubling classic zone spawns in SQL database file for the two smallest EQ classic continents awhile back, it would be easy enough to manipulate a bunch of them to behave similar to Kithicor Forest with different night time and day time spawns.
Increasing XP rate could work well, but you'd have to also make sure you adjust AA XP rates higher to compensate for and offset the increased XP rate.
I think the premise for this a fun enough idea really. I don't know how many people will play it or not, but it's got potential. I think classic EQ zones in particular are the zones people kind of have the most nostalgia towards in general. This might be just different enough to be appealing to a lot people perhaps who knows. I'd find it more interesting personally. Also what about cleric resurrection how would that play into this partial level/levels recoveries!? The idea of a moderately hardcore server is appealing to me though where death matters more than usual.
