Use your own emu box - eqemu has step by step instructions:
https://docs.eqemu.io/#everquest-emulator-server
Spin up a vm (i used a win2016 eval iso from microsoft) create a snapshot once you get eq working, and just revert to the snapshot to undo any changes and reset the eval timer after each session.
* You'll want a separate eq install if you plan on having your play client on the same box you have p99 on.
