Editing Game servers

{{Guidessb}}
Since the world of EverQuest can not handle every player playing on the same world, the game is divided into '''game servers'''.  When you begin playing, you can choose what server you want to play on.  You can also play on several (or all) servers.

However, each server is separate and you can not move between them or transfer items between them.  You may only move a character by paying a fee to SOE, some restrictions apply.

Except as noted, every server has an identical world and ruleset.

The physical location of the servers used to be San Diego, California but was changed to Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Antonius Bayle (EU) server has always been in Europe.
