What does Custom Legit mean? Either you have altered the code to do something extra or you havent. And why would someone want to play on a custom server and level legit? All your friends are smokin levels like the best ganja in Jamaica and you are still stuck in Paludal caverns.

You posted in the wrong forum, you should definitely post here

In the EQEmu community, legit means the difference between allowing the use of gm commands or not. A server that doesn't allow any gm commands (or maybe only just a couple very simple ones to show your stats or let you zone with them) is generally considered legit. A server that allows access to the more important gm commands that let you summon items and/or level to any level you want is considered non-legit or maybe even semi-legit depending on how high of commands and how many they give players access to.

Almost all EQEmu servers are custom in 1 way or another. Most servers that actually list themselves as custom are ones that generally try to remake the content of EQ in a whole new way, or that at least change things around considerably. Non-custom servers like PEQ and P99 are ones that try to emulate live content as closely as they possibly can.

Every server is a bit different, and some are considerably different from what EQLive players are used to. That doesn't affect whether or not you should have to actually level or not. Whether the server has you level or not is up to the server's devs. Custom or non-custom, leveling is generally a factor in playing EQ.

in short- there is no relation between "custom" and "legit" what so ever =P
you can have

custom, legit (like THF)
non-custom, legit (like PEQ)
custom, non-legit
non-custom, non-legit

Non-legit servers are in fact ULTRA RARE - they pop up once or twice a year, stay around for a week, and go down cause usually NO ONE plays on them for more than an hour or two.
