What do you need to code to run a server?

No, I am talking about p99. If you were planning to go full blown re-writing code from the ground up etc for a true classic server - it just is not worth the effort as the server already exists.

If you just want classic'ish spawns and drops you only need to modify the database; so just need to learn a bit of SQL. It won't be a true classic server though is all I am saying. It will just be the PEQ database and quests, locked to classic zones with a few extra old items added in. ie exactly what I referred to as a "nostalgia" server.

I'm not quite sure of your end game, all you wrote was what was needed to 'run' the server but I am not sure if you plan to run it just for yourself or to open a new server to the public. If it is just for you and your friends, you will probably find the time spent worth it. If you are planning to release it to the public though, you may want to rethink the effort as those servers are a dime a dozen as it stands.
