The server which will prove successful, if either of them does, will be the one that betrayed the basis of the original 2K1 the most. Players don't want an economy based around aesthetic items anymore. They want an economy based around items that will give them an unfair advantage over other players.

Then I think you will be pleasantly surprised. My revision isn't a simple change in graphics and slight little tweaking to things. I'm doing a full overhaul of damn near everything. Every job is going to be different, there will be lots of quests, all the events will be updated and changed. New pets, new inventory, new jobs, totally new areas... I think there is still a strong desire to have a 2k1 server that is well done and well managed. If people want GK-style items so much, why doesn't GK have more players? All the servers on the classic list right now in my opinion, are badly put together.
Not to mention without those stat changing items, sparring will be more based around skill and not items. I think a lot of people prefer it that way. Graal became a hit because of classic, not because of GK.
You can say that classic is outdated and wouldn't stand a chance against new servers... but the basic principles can, and will.
