I do like the older EQ more than the crap that sony delivered with all those
expansions. With some of the classic zones they started throwing in the dump,
I wish they would of just added interest to them. I just looked on their server
list lately and noticed they got hardly anything left for servers now, compared
to back in the days.

You don't actually need to make custom zones from scratch to have "custom zones". There are quite a few zones in the Titanium+ clients that are completely unused because they are from expansions that the emu doesn't currently support. Use them and you reduce the difficulty dramatically. You still have to create monsters and set pathing and such, but it does save you the time and complexities of creating custom zones and models and then distributing them.
