It would take so much work and manpower that does not exist at even a fraction of what we would need for such an overhaul. So you'd be waiting YEARS for this to happen.
All the while, it would kill all the new improvements in scripting, some of the nice scripts we do have would be wasted, especially some of the intricate GC stuff.
Everything would be GS1, which has a fraction of the opppotunities of use, not to mention its hard to read and understand unless your an old timer like Tyhm who grew up scripting GS1.
For all that effort, do you really think it would be worth all the work and loss put into that? It's been done before with Graal 2000 and Graal 2001, and the result from those servers, who had the SAME strength of an outcry about this, was a no, it was a complete failure.

Yes it is worth it. And it won't magically bring up the playercount, at first maybe. But it will rise and fall like all servers do. But having the original content such as levels, HD, and tileset will really give it a push in the RIGHT direction.
This isn't even the real work that Classic needs. I've been saying this along; this is the start, we still need some content such as events, spar tournies, npcs, ganis, hats, an economy (to name a few). Originally Classic tried to make a guild wars type battle like Unholy Nation has castle wars. This is another form of the kind of development that Classic needs.
