We’ve been keeping a sharp eye on all the buzzing and excitement since the announcement of the Origins PvP Server in the April Producer’s Letter. We have more information to provide you as we get ready for Beta to open on May 13, 2025.
The name of the Origins PvP Server is Dozekar. This server will start in The Shattered Lands era (no expansions unlocked), and you’ll get to experience the look and challenge of the classic world of Norrath. Systems will seem less complex, stats and gameplay will be reflective of the 2006 era, and there will be more focus on PvP and grouping with that old school MMO feel! If you missed out on PvPing in the 2006 version of EverQuest II, you should check out the 2025 version of it on Dozekar; it’s going to be epic!
Adventure and Tradeskill Leveling for this Beta will be on a schedule. May 13th through May 15th of the Beta will allow for adventure and tradeskill leveling to level 12, May 16th through May 19th will go to level 22, May 20th through May 23rd will go to level 32, and the remaining time will see the cap at level 50. Beta will end on May 27, 2025.
When Dozekar goes live, there will be staggered leveling. We will have further information on level caps and timeframes in the launch article. We would like to give fair warning along with this information that any quest experience from quests turned in while at max level will result in lost experience. The experience will not apply when the level cap is increased, nor can it be replaced by Customer Service or the development team.
