You don't need EQ at all to make your own server (except for the spell file from the current patch, it's listed in the guide), as explained above, but you won't be able to log in to it with an everquest client that is not patched to the current patch as of november something or other. The devs here keep it current, for reasons explained in other threads.
The short answer: You must be patched to current EQ Live patches in order to play on the current server version 5-0.
