You need to copy the zone etc. files over from a Live client, along with ancilliary model files (e.g. rdg.eqg has the model for the Rotdog fearstalker in thulehouse1).

So even though the EQEmu support for the current Live client is extremely limited, it would be possible for someone to create a fully playable HoT server, if:

1) They populate their DB with HoT data.
2) The players have the Underfoot client and access to a Live account to copy over the required HoT files to their Underfoot directory.

Obviously the new features in the real HoT client wouldn't be available, but the zones/mob models would be.
LOL, Ya, and here's me, thinking I saved a few bucks, when I could of done
it that way. (I already had a live account and UF). But, that could help a
few people knowing that
