You don't need to forward that only the server uses that port. Unless your mysql server and eqemu server are located in two physically separate locations with 2 different internet connections. Or if you had a web server located somewhere on the internet and had it querying your mysql database to show information. In either case it would just have to be forwarded on the network with the MYSQL server.
But for a regular EQEMU server with the MYSQL DB server istalled on the localhost or even a separate server on the same LAN you do not need to forward the MYSQL port.
