Server Information and Features
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This server is unlocked up to the Planes of Power, level 65.
It is an era-accurate server based of the P2002 Database with a twist.
Do you miss the nostalgia of EQ? Having to work for things, feeling the accomplishment of leveling, growing your character, conquering new content and finding new items and spells?
Well, then you've come to the right place. VegasEQ is all about reliving your favorite times and experiencing of EverQuest
without the endless grind and hundreds, if not thousands of hours needed to spend grinding and gearing.
Here you will still have to work for levels, conquering content and fight strategically, but you can forget about that endless grind.
This is a more balanced version of The Planes of Power era for those of us who don't have 8-hours a day to throw at the game.
You can play solo, with friends, or 2-Box and enjoy advanced bots that accompany you along the way.
Bots have had a complete AI rework and are extremely customizable and are far better than you could ever imagine.
Bots unlock as you level and you can unlock more by killing raid targets as you progress.
Visit the Bot Information on the sidebar to learn more about bots and their commands.

single player without the need to group or box if you choose not to.
There are many quality of life improvements to make the game you love less of a grind but still keep the feeling you had playing it.

Vegas Loot System
Completely custom loot system on top of stock loot. All natural loot is intact for the era.
You must be no more than 10 levels above the mob to get any Vegas drops.
Nearly all wearable items in the game can random drop based on mob difficulty and expansion.
Rare and Raid mobs have chances of dropping better and the more difficult, multiple items.
Chances for bonus loot and shards to drop on all eligible kills.
Shards drop from mobs and increase in quantity as mobs get more difficult.
Epic Tokens can drop from any mob level 45+, group and raid mobs have an even higher chance.
These can be traded in at the Hub for the appropriate class epic or random if turned in with 5kpp.
Shards can be reclaimed via the Alternate Currency tab in your Inventory Window then traded in at the Hub for items from merchants that rotate their stock every 24 hours.
Items purchasable from Valeen display "None" for charges, but will have charges upon purchasing.
All dropped and researched spells are global random drops with according level ranges.
Weight Reduction bags can drop at a very rare rate.
Bridles can drop at a VERY low rate.
Random drops and Shard Vendored items have an */** respectively at the end of their names and cannot be used in quests, sold or give achievements.
If you see a `Poof` message on an NPC`s death, that means you are on drop cooldown. Most spawn locations cannot trigger more than once every 3 minutes.
The exceptions are Ring of Fire bosses and Plane of Sky Spirocs are on a 30-minute timer.
