I think the problem is it seems like everyone who works on classic seems to think that people want something else. I think everyone wants to see the classic that they started on, the classic they grew up on. But really, what made classic, classic, was the people, just like any old server. I don't remember actually playing much except doing the quests, but running around messing with people, doing stupid stuff like fighting for the Graal Castle throne, guild wars and such. I don't think anyone could ever revive that, but if you're going to do anything close to that, it'd be bringing back at least the old overworld, not trying to create something new.
I think the gmap is a bad idea, but not because it doesn't have benefits, but because they can't replicate the Graal default engine without the specifics.
