Default My Very Own Server?

I was browsing the list of other servers, and I noticed some that had custom zones and even one that allowed GM commands. If I made my own server could I...
  • Move the wizard portal in West Karana closer to Qeynos Hills?
  • Make Brownie, Faerie, and Pixie playable races?
  • Add lower level versions of harvest for wizards?
  • Quests that allow fire pot travel?
  • Wizard group gates to Firepots?
  • Player Werewolfs and Vampires?
  • Player controlled boats in the ocean zones?
  • Meteors that drop out of the sky and blow up entire zones?

provided you can figure out the coding / scripting, the answer to all of those is "yes"

Trivial to add/change spells.

Changing the loc a port spells send people would be trivial, changing where the wizard spires themselves are would be a little more work but not too bad with the right tools. Would need to change clientside files for that though, and then you get to the questionable part -- distributing client files is technically a no-no but you could get away with it if you're a low-visibility (non-p99) server. Alternatively, you could pack your changes into some kind of patch that only modifies the files the player already has, but that's more work.

Sure why not.

Tougher ones. I think Secrets might know something about getting more things to show up on the char creation screen somehow or another. Getting stuff like equipment to play along might take more work (Race: ALL is not as ALL as it might sound, from what I remember). If you're willing to put up with hacks (shows up visibily as a brownie or whatever in game and on char select, but is technically counted as some other race under the hood and at char creation) it might be easier to pull off.

Maybe. Boats are Mobs and can be moved around the same ways as NPCs and such, although the "moves players along with it" part can lead to some pretty glitchy movement. Finding an intuitive and workable way for players to control them might be more challenging.

If by "meteors" you mean "zonewide flavor text followed by instant death"...

There are already player controllable boats in zones like DC and LR. You stand in the little canoe and click on it and then you can drive it around. Might not work on P99.

If you wanted to change anything significant you'd need some C++ to edit the server source. For minor things ("quest scripts") Perl or Lua would be enough. Some basic working knowledge of SQL queries would help if you were doing things like repopulating zones, making custom items and spells, etc.

That's true, I forgot about the canoe. Bit dinky for ocean warfare, though. Could also turn players into big sailing ships and let them move around as normal, although glitchy movement would be pretty much guaranteed there.
