You need to seriously reconsider your priorities.
You haven't done it before therefor any server you make will not be something you can justify putting online or even attempting donations.
Not flaming here but you need to focus on LEARNING not trying to make a functional server for lots of ppl to play.
There are tons of guides posted for lotf and coemu. That's basically all the help you could ever need. There are also faq threads for those sources which you can ask questions in.
But yah.. put off starting a project or anything of that level for at least a couple months of coding. Servers are alot of work and if you don't know what you're doing you have no place starting a full project.
