1) Is it easy to set up and have the old zones?
I wouldn't say it's easy but some zones are easier than others.
For Nektulos and Lavastorm you can rename the eqg files for those 2 zones to have the .bak extension. I think deleting them works too but the rename is safer. This will use the old geometry for the zone.
As for the Bazaar and the Arena to my knowledge the only way to have those is to have the Bazaar and Arena zone files from a time in which they were the old zones. For the bazaar, if you have your luclin install discs you can get the old zone files from there.
2) Do NPC's have to be programmed to be in their old positions in the old zones, or is that automatic?
I believe the PEQ database has the spawns for old nek and Angelox's DB has the spawns for old LS. I have not yet tried to port over spawns from another Database so I can't comment on how easy it is. It is most certainly not automatic.
3) Is there any way to bring back the old MIDI music into the game? It has a classic charm that I miss, and I noticed that the tune from Rivervale was missing when I tried PEQ's server.
This I am unsure of. If you figure it out let me know because I love that old music.
