WR patcher will get it to work, but....
That version is full of bugs, most of them are fixed in the newer version.. it is better to use the newest client that will work, and the working server, newest DR release.
Anyway, WR customized their database so much, it works well, I dont know.. but when I played on it a while ago, it appears as if they might have even customized the source code to meet their needs.
The one thing that I hate about the server though, is that the new DR release takes longer for zones to load, but anyway... my simple advise is, dont mess with it, I did at first, it makes it become like an EQClassic server.. its horrible in my opinion, I hate doing all of that, its just my advise, but dont use it.. WR staff is very knowledgable at all that they do, and they know what they are doing, unless you are so sure with yourself, and have setup a regular server before and know how to compile source code and mastered SQL commands and databases, then I do not recommend doing it, without basic knowledge, I recommend compiling the source code and playing around with it, its how you can learn but other than that, I dont recommend using an older client version.. it is just too buggy.
