Overview[]
Zones are areas of the map with designated themes, mobs, and scenery. They are connected to other zones by "zone lines." The atlas and zone guide features of the map window make it easier to see which zones connect to one another or to chart a path from one's current zone to a destination far away. Crossing over to another zone is called "zoning" (traveling from zone to zone requires the game client to pause and load the destination zone's files.) Players can travel between zones, but mobs cannot. This makes zoning a useful disengagement tactic, which in turn makes fighting near a zone line advantageous when one is unsure of one's strength to compared to an opponent's. Zoning can take anywhere from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the player's computer.
Zones are, in essence, the smallest unit of seamless playable area in the game and are stored on the player's hard drive. An area such as a city might be comprised of two or three smaller zones (like Freeport), while a large zone might contain an entire small city and a vast forest (like Greater Faydark). Zones represent a wide variety of geographical features that can be found in EverQuest, including plains, oceans, cities, deserts, forests, and alternate planes of existence.
The /shout and /ooc chat channels send messages to all players in the same zone as the speaker.
With the many expansions for EverQuest released over the years, there is a noticeable difference in the appearance of older zones and newer zones. Newer zones tend to have more advanced graphics and some advanced features such as interactive objects or scripted events with non-player characters. Most zones in EverQuest are static zones, which always exist and can be entered and explored by players even if they are not in the same party as one another. However, there are also instanced zones, introduced in EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath, which are temporary private zones used in adventures, expeditions, and most missions. Many private copies of the same instanced zone can exist at the same time, each accessible only to the party of players who requested it.
