From a SOE forum post (Updated here):

There are six main sections of EverQuest: Production, Systems, Code, Content, Quality Assurance, and Art. There is also Customer Service.

With the 2015 sale of SOE (now Daybreak Game Company), changes have been made. This may not be accurate any more.

Daybreak Game Company LLC. owns and distributes EverQuest. A division of Daybreak, Darkpaw Games, develops EQ.
