Game servers

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.


 * DGC: EQ Game Server Status

List
Except for Beta and Test, servers are named after EQ gods or important NPCs.


 * Beta - This server is around only for short periods before an expansion or new special server is released. It is designed for testing.  It usually goes away after release of the expansion or server.
 * Test - This is the server that is for testing purposes. Characters may be deleted at any time.

Preferred Servers
SOE has labeled some servers as "Preferred Servers".


 * Ragefire - Voting / Timelocked Progression
