The EverQuest special servers comprise a number of servers that allow the players of EverQuest to play the game with different rule sets. As of February 8, 2005 there is only one PvP (Player vs. Player) server, Zek, resulting from the merger of the four PvP servers Rallos Zek, Tallon Zek, Vallon Zek and Sullon Zek, which formerly had quite different rule sets. On Zek PvP combat can occur between any characters that are within 4 levels of each other. Other special servers are the role-playing server Firiona Vie, and a premium customer service server called Stormhammer, but more widely known as Legends server. On December 7, 2005, it was announced that the Legends service would be discontinued on February 1, 2006.[1] Template:Wikibookspar During the April 2006 Community Summit, Sony announced plans to create a new "Progression" server.
