Zedd, I don't build worlds myself, but I'll try to give you some information you should find helpful.

Worldbuilding relies on a database. We use a database program called mysql. If you don't know anything about it, go to the website. Database manipulation takes time to learn, and everquestserver.com is not the place to learn all of it. If you are familiar with hosting a database, this shouldn't be TOO hard for you.

Worldbuilding/ EQlive emulation

A program called packetcollector exists. It searches the live everquest for items, and populates their data into a database that is made available to everyone. The developers make it available to us. You can look at the items in the same fashion as "lucy", the item and spell information site. These items are available to view or to download.

Editing a database

tcsmyworld is producing the best emulated database so far. It has movement, and is like everquest live.

If you search the 3rd party tools forum, you'll find much information about programs that exist to help build worlds.

This is as much information as you will learn without venturing out into database editing for yourself.

EDIT: For structures that you don't understand, I suggest you read the guide that Magick produced (see signature for link) to see if it's covered. I also suggest that you use the SEARCH function. Much of this has been covered, but perhaps not all of it. If you need help with exact structures, try posting which parts you don't understand.
