If you have to google the topic then running an emu server won't be for you. Let alone a classic one.
As furniture said, the amount of work these folks have put into making our server classic is huge. The eqemulator.net databases don't even come close.
Why would you want the headache of running your own server anyway? Just pick one and play!

This is kind of a crappy response. If you have this attitude with everything in life, you'll never learn anything. It's completely feasible to follow the Windows setup guide and dive into the code and actually learn some C++/SQL/etc along the way. It'll just be a lot of work.
No one says you have to put in all the time/research to implement your own classic database. P99 & EQClassic pretty much have that niche on lockdown. There's a ton of possibilities with custom servers though.
If you want a server to fuck around on, there's a server some guy runs called The Sandbox. Apparently you can message him for the GM commands to warp around and stuff to check shit out.
