Classic was losing players before the switch to NPC Server was made, and even if that wasn't the case, such a conversion would likely take years to achieve, and reaching a perfect conversion is not possible due to security changes imposed by the NPC Server.

You missed the point of my comment. That the only reason to keep it alive is for nostalgic reasons. To redo it completely denies the reason the server should be up. If it's not going to be classic, then forget it.
Classic's main loss of players was the switch to P2P. Then after that it was forgotten about, so it lost more players. Then it was updates again, but that's when classic started undergoing huge chances. Then there was the NPC server, and then even more changes. In the end, ever since P2P, no one has ever gotten a chance to just play Classic the way it used to be. You can't say we don't give ways on how to change things, we constantly say here to keep Classic the way it was, and it's ignored.
