I much rather devote my time to running a quality server than trying to balance a full time job too.

Living from running an eqemu server is an utopic idea, even with a VERY good quality server, for all the reasons that where argued top.
I started EQA project for some of the same reasons as you Lorien; because there are a lot of peoples that dont like EQ Gameplay but like EQ, and they are seeking something different. Thinking you will build your server, and that the players will come, is one more time utopic, because first, build your server will be a real challenge, dont reads, days, week, but read monthS, and maybe yearS.
My project is somewhat, more ambitious than yours, mainly because we are totally rebuilding EQ, but dont think building a clone server is easy, i think its harder than totally customize a servern because while players play, they will have to feel they are playing EQ, and this wont be really easy, mainly because is on some parts, like showed melwin, very broken, and as your server will have to be eqlive clone, you will not a have a way to bypass them (Only one would be to have a strong C++ knowledge *shrug*).
Also, keep in my mind concurrency exist, even on EQEmu, there is also a project of EQLive clone server called PEQ, and they have a lot of advance on you (DB almost complete, and they have a staff working on quest).
Im not saying its impossible, something is impossible only when you decided it would be impossible, but dont think it will be easy, lots of peoples tryed to create the server you want to build, and all failed actually.
Good Luck
