Emu created by a non-coder / non-server guru (is it feasible?)

[Asphixiate]

So i'm your average guy that just loves what eq used to be, and wants it back. I may have a more than average understanding of random computing things, but I am no coder, and I have only the most minimal experience with mysql.

I found a pretty detailed guide on how to set up the database and everything with eqemu, but please tell me if I'm wrong in thinking this is basically all that is involved in creating a new server with eqemu:

1. Install EQ.

2. Download and install mentioned items in guide (mysql, eqemu files, etc).

3. Set up the DB / server boot script.

4. Boot server

5. Play

I have just skimmed the guide at work, and realize this may be a very truncated guide, but is this the jist of it?

My main question is, can a guy with no coding or real database experience start a successful emu server with little to no gameplay modifications? Or will I be bombarded by errors when I try to load this puppy, requiring intense coding or database fixes?

Also, am I wrong in thinking that the tools available for download to edit items and such are relatively user friendly and require little to no coding or database work?


Thanks for any insight.
