This thread degenerated quickly.
MySQL is a must, not doubt about it.
Lua is highly advised for making mob encounters, and quests etc.
IMO, C++ is for when you are drastically serious about features.
I parked my first server due to the intense time requirements conflicting with real life at the time. I had figured out how to modify / make items, modify / make spells, and had dabbled with mob encounters via Perl. If I actually do roll up another server, I will have to learn a lot more LUA, and probably some basic C++, not to mention get more serious about MySQL. Quite a bit of work.

You do realize that if 10-15 people who really want a P99 general Type server were to band together it would become possible. That said, it would likely take about a full year before it would even be ready for an Alpha launch. Then you could fully open your DB / Source to the community. TONS of work that would have to be done...
