You will need two seperate IP's to dual box using minilogin if you don't want to share characters and be logged off when zoning etc.
As far as using Magoth's Bots, I don't think there was ever an official release of that code. People just seem to merge it in manually. You could get the latest server release and diff it in. I can't think of any reason you'd lose existing characters.
Getting the latest DB and not losing your custom changes will be fairly difficult depending on how different they are. If it's just a few changes you made to items or drop rates or something simple, you can export your changes as SQL, and later run those queries on your new DB. Of course, the schema has changed over the years, so you'll need to keep that in mind.
Factions have never been 100% AFAIK. That's a DB issue and seems to get better as time passes and people do more work on them. I see wierd faction issues in various zones.
LDON is not working because there are several unknown opcodes and a lot of missing server code. I don't believe zone instancing works either.
If you create new quests, post them here in the quest section and surely people will want to see them and possibly use them. Writing up Live quests is always needed and custom work is certainly appreciated as well.
