Would it work if...

I'm new to EQEmu and I really want to just setup a Lan Server with my bros. I understand that me and well, pretty much every other noob that wants to play has to wait till the next EQEmu to come out. I was sitting and i was wondering if i get the latest EQemu file and then, from a blank instal go to Shadows of Luclin and not patch, should i be able to run a Lan server and connect from the same machine, and others if i follow the same procedure?
Just a thought. I'm about to just try it out and see, from trial and error. Man this noob buz is hard :P Cant wait to play EQ not on a Sony server.

P.S.
Devs, You guys rock, seriously ingenious.
