Chris Lena: It is too soon to make any solid plans for new progression servers of any kind. Since it is so successful I imagine we will do another at some point but not before the current two run their course. There have been some great debates on our forums for other possible special rules versions and we will definitely take those under consideration if we do another Progression server. I, personally, like the idea of using a predetermined timer to open each expansion – maybe 3-6 months each.

MMORPG.com: How have the Progression servers effected your overall subscription numbers?

Chris Lena: As everyone probably knows they don’t let me talk about subscription numbers but I don’t think I will get in trouble for saying that the servers are leaving a strong positive mark on our overall number of EverQuest subscribers. But even without the Progression server 2006 has been a great year for the game.
