Considering returning to Camelot. what do I need for Classic? My accounts dont have any expansions. Im thinking I might set up a trial account and forget my old accounts.

There's only 2 expansions that you can buy atm:
- Catacombs
- Darkness Rising
Both are useful on normal and classic servers. Catacombs allows you to level faster (Task Dungeons). Darkness Rising provides player mounts, Champion Weapons and Champion Levels.
Neither are absolutely necessary.. but the Champion Weapon is usually fairly good esp on classic. So I'd say on classic Darkness Rising should be activated (which means you also need catacombs as it's a pre-req for DR I think). Also.. most people on classic use gear from a dungeon in catacombs, so having cats on your account allows you to go there yourself instead of having to buy everything from other players.
On a normal server missing your Champion Weapon is less of an issue as everyone uses Artifact / ToA gear, so the catacombs gear isn't needed. The Champion Levels do provide a line with 10% resist buffs, so they can be handy for (solo) RvR.. but you can still compete without.
Bottom line:
On classic, I'd say you need both to be on par with the rest. On a normal server you're better of with both, but activating neither won't be a great loss. (levelling will take longer tho)
