Should the server install work out of the box?

[crazz2525]

I was under the impression that the server install after following the guide here: https://docs.eqemu.io/server/install...ation-windows/ would work out of the box as the instructions did not say otherwise.

However, I quickly learned that the client download from ProjectEQ is missing zone files since the server uses the older zones and I had to add the old zone files to my client directory thanks to a post I found here after some digging. Before I commit players to the server, I want to know whether I should expect any other issues that would need a resolution. Are there any other problems that everyone runs into that would need a fix from the start?

Since the server seems to be looking for older zone files, should I have not been using the downloadable client from Project EQ? If not, what client should I be using?
