See you really need to be here first before you even get started. Do you know C++, Perl, Lua or MySQL at all? Can you at least do joins? Using the editors just is not enough. EqEmu and PEQ are focusing on the expansion they stopped at, which is GoD. You are going to have to know how to code to accomplish this.
Classic mechanics like pets not zoning, boats, harmony being AoE, 11% max XP, Conning. Those things plus 100 more need to be taken care of. I am not trying to dissuade you but you need to think about these things. It is great having and idea and ambition but you have to put the time in and acquire the skills.
I joined this place in 2007 and lurked for a long time. Eventually starting my first server and having to go through the creation and compile process got my feet wet. It was the players that pushed me, they wanted many things fixed and I had no clue how to do them. It forced me to learn Perl to start, not many source changes. Eventually with LoF I had to really start learning C++ because our source has to be different from PEQ because of the Era we are focusing on. Players have a great way of pushing you to learn more than you already know.
MySQL was close enough to MSSQL that I already know from work so that came naturally.
