Tantalar, it seems that you have no understanding of either computer programming nor copyright law.

It is technically illegal to host old versions of the files, or new versions, for that matter. Which is why you a required to have a copy of titanium. Hosting any of the client files will get SoE to start sending take-down notices for copyright infringement, as you don't have the legal right to distribute their copyrighted works.

And it's not as simple as just using an older version of the emulator and database with that client version. There is a good deal of work that has gone into the emulator since then that has not been backpatched into older versions of the emulator. If you've never worked on a complex software project you're just not going to understand the sheer amount of work that would be involved.

You also want something that you're just never going to get. The past is gone, and you need to let go of it. You seem to also have a very warped view of what classic was like, and how hard it was. You are never going to find a magical time machine that will transport you back to 1999 so you can play the original game. And honestly, you seem to care more about the appearance of the UI than you do about actual faithfulness to the classic EverQuest.
