We have been listening to your feedback and suggestions and have decided to create some polls of some of the rulesets you all have said you enjoy for our first Time-Locked Progression server of 2026!
Our first TLP, Frostreaver, will open in May and will have a ruleset voted on by you! We will be making a polling forum where we will post several polls on a select number of rules, so you all can collectively decide what you all think the best choices are for Frostreaver.
We expect all forum guidelines to be followed in these threads; attacks or insults to others for their vote will not be tolerated. We do encourage healthy debate; you never know when a point you make will draw someone to your side. To that point, we will be allowing you to change your vote until the poll closes. Each poll will remain open for one month, at which time the final votes will be a determining factor in that ruleset being chosen or not.
If incompatible server rulesets are chosen, we will have a re-polling to pit them against one another in a follow-up poll to see which is more viable. An example of incompatible rulesets would be PvP and Encounter Locking. We will add a reminder note in threads that have a chance of being incompatible with another ruleset up for polling.
Polling will begin in the forums, which can be accessed at https://everquest.com/vote, starting NOW and will continue until January 15, 2026, at 12:00 P.M. (noon) PT. You will need to have an active and valid membership to vote in these polls. Please be sure to log out and back into the forums prior to this date to ensure you can see these new forums once they go live.
Our second TLP, Lethar, will open in The Serpent’s Spine and have a new ruleset we call Personal Loot. We will have more information on this server when it gets closer to launch. This server is set to open in August.
We are excited about this collaboration with you all in determining the ruleset for our May TLP!
