| The '''EverQuest special servers''' comprise a number of [[Server (computing)|server]]s that allow the players of ''[[EverQuest]]'' to play the game with different rule sets. As of [[February 8]], [[2005]] there is only one [[Player versus player|PvP (Player vs. Player)]] server, ''Zek'', resulting from the merger of the four PvP servers ''Rallos Zek'', ''Tallon Zek'', ''Vallon Zek'' and ''[[Gloinz 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]].[http://eqforums.station.sony.com/eq/board/message?board.id=Crier&message.id=236]

| | 1 - [[/Firiona|Firiona Vie]] — ''Roleplaying preferred Server'' |
| Two Progression servers were created in [[June]], [[2006]] with just the original game world (Antonica, Faydwer and Odus) available. Classes and races not available with the original game will be unavailable initially as well. As the players achieve certain goals, the later expansions are unlocked. There's also time limit of at least a month between each expansion.

|
| While there has been a lot of demand over the past few years for a server such as this it's not turned out as many imagined. It's gained a large hardcore crowd fighting to be the first to unlock the next expansion, and most of the people who wanted to experience 'old-skool' EverQuest have been disappointed at the speed at which the expansions have been unlocked.
| | Firiona Vie is nominally a role playing server, although there are few genuine role players in evidence. It differs from all the other servers in a couple of key respects notably that |

|
| == Current special servers ==
| | * players may only have one toon per account on Firiona Vie, and not the usual panoply of support alt characters which most servers experience |
| | * as a consequence many items which are No Drop (No Trade) on other servers as a rule tend to be tradeable on Firiona Vie. |

| *'''Tallon Zek''' and '''Vallon Zek'''--Everquest PvP servers which formed teams based on race.
| | 3 - [[/normal|Normal server]] — ''Normal Servers'' [[Image:00%.png]] |
| *'''Sullon Zek'''--EverQuest server in which the players were separated into teams based on religion: good, evil, neutral. The Server was developed and envisioned by "Gloinz" (Chadlek G. Schneider, Sony GM). The level limits of the other EQ PvP (Player vs Player) servers were removed, allowing someone of the highest level to kill someone of the lowest level, though there were limits on experience loss and looting. This server is perceived to have acted as the vacuum for the most antisocial, competitive players EQ had.
| |
| *'''Stormhammer''' also known as ''Legends'' - premium customer service server, which provided greater GM attention and more events for a surcharge to the regular subscription fee.
| |
| *'''Discord''' - Short-lived PVP Server with severe penalties for death, the resetting of a character back to basic status, as well as points for killing other players. The players with the most points at the end of the server's existence were rewarded with character transfers and special gear.

1 - Firiona Vie — Roleplaying preferred Server
Firiona Vie is nominally a role playing server, although there are few genuine role players in evidence. It differs from all the other servers in a couple of key respects notably that
- players may only have one toon per account on Firiona Vie, and not the usual panoply of support alt characters which most servers experience
- as a consequence many items which are No Drop (No Trade) on other servers as a rule tend to be tradeable on Firiona Vie.
