First, is implimenting an xp bonus impossible due to it being inside the .exe and it not being open source ect. ect.

It's open source, you just have to download the source release instead of the binaries. The actual experience rewards are easily modified; on my server I've got xp rewards for greens at a large xp penalty to guarantee some return on time/mana investment if you get jumped by a ton of them.
However, if you just want a straight up xp reward, I suggest looking at this:
Wiki: ServerVariables
The whole wiki is definitely recommended reading for a new server.
Try skimming through the forums as well, there's a lot of answers in here.
In particular you're looking for the variable EXPMod, which is just an experience multiplier.

Secondly, and probably most annoying, are these lag problems we've been having. some info: the server isn't on our lan, dedicated 24/7, the server has adequate specs as far as what people recomend on the forums, and the internet connection where I am at the moment is terrible. It seems to work fine for a while, after about 10-15minutes the other admin and I (on the same network) get hit with horrible lag, takes a minute for a right click to register for merchants,looting,done buttons, ect. Any ideas? just our network? Could someone log onto the zebuxoruk server and play around for 10-20minutes check if you have the same problems and let us know?

I'm also having these lag issues. Apparently it's a known bug, but try working on the systems connecting to the server. One of my players reports improved performance after closing MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger and disabling the Windows XP built-in firewall. ZoneAlarm I've been told causes no end of problems, and the EQ client in general, I've been told, hates Norton Internet Security.
