List of all community servers that are actively being developed by the community. Please note at the present the majority of servers are being used to help with development and testing.

Scars of Anarchy (Custom-Legit)

Admin: Tyr

Read more about the Scars of Anarchy project in the Server forum

We aim to provide content for groups and for raiders, soloing will only be viable in the early levels, just as it should be. Raids are a main focus of ours, and there will be many of them spanning from the 20s to max. Other then attempting to do all content from 1-80 (or 90 should the level cap increase before we go live) we will release in the same order as live, coming out with expansions as we get them done, and polished. This will allow for a fuller, richer experience over all, as we can focus on one thing at a time. Crafting will also be a viable, needed, path for players to take as certain quests and items can only be achieved with the assistance of a skilled tradesman, or tradeswoman.

Dragon Land (Custom Legit)

Admin: Jablambo Malambo (Jeff Orchard)

Read more about the Dragon Land project in the Server forum

The storyline behind Dragon Land will use the general lore of Norrath. The story itself and the events that take place in the world will be completely different than that of any of the EverQuest franchise games. As the name implies, the Dragon Land server will contain lots and lots of dragons. Final Tier progression quests will include at least 1 custom scripted Dragon fight. From tier 1, till tier 25, Dragon battle instances will become harder, and require more strategy. Strategies may be heard or read from somewhere in the world and could unlock the key to getting an upper hand in the fight. "For every quest, there is a reason."

Admin: Michael Bolland (Bolly)/Matthew Gibbins (Woody)
