Bunga it`s very unlikely that they will follow your request, because they could get into serious troubles for doing so. And im sure thats the least you wish them.
It`s my understanding that the communication between server and client now works like in the real enviroment. If so, this would mean you can just patch your eq (non sol) to todays standard and use the client in the pre sol zones.
However you would not be able to see the new zones. I dont know about the graphics and the Bst Class.
