You asking for trouble if you want to use an old client with the new databases, unless you happen to be very very good at C++ or soemone on your staff is, Wiz has coded WR to be completely customized, database and all i am sure. If you look around you might be able to find out who made the updates to the databases, and find the code fixes they added so the code would work for it. but i can tell you if your going to use such an old version of the client you would be better off customizing the code yourself to work with the database, you have to realize too, that the PEQ databases are up to date with GoD, if your making an eqclassic server you aren't going to want the mob updates that were made, alot of old world mobs were changed/removed as the game evolved, different stats were changed based on new spell releases, etc.. so from the way it sounds you want to make a true blue eq classic server, in which you are going to need to revert all these changes made to mobs back to their original values, or close enough so that the old world spells/weapons become as effective as they were 5 years ago.

You also could go through the most recent code releases, and pick out one by one the things you need to operate with the current databases and fix it that way. it all depends if you know C++ well or not.

Depending on how much time your willing to put into this you could just go and repop all the zones one by one, most people who make an eqclassic server know the zones pretty well, and i am sure you could pop the zones one mob at a time, but this takes alot of time. so it just depends on what you want to do.

And of course the level of "Classic" you are trying to reach for.
