Revision as of 13:01, 11 January 2019

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.

History

According to this forum post by Imak:

“
EQ started off with 36 servers on launch day, March 16, 1999. Many more were added in following years and the total was over 50 servers prior to The Great Merging that occurred throughout 2005. 		”
