Other Important Information:
Copy your character over to the Beta server:
- Log in to your character on your live server and then type the /beta command.
- Characters flagged for beta will be copied periodically (typically every morning).
- If you already have your toon on beta and you use the /beta command on the Live server a second time (or more), it will copy your character again, but it will only sync the AA/Achievements. If you want to have a clean copy, you would need to delete your beta character first before running the /beta command again.
To patch and get into the Beta servers:
- Use the beta launcher.
- If you don’t already have the beta launcher, you can get it here
https://launch.daybreakgames.com/ins...Beta_setup.exe - Once downloaded, run the EXE and install. Typically, it will install at “C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest Beta”
TIME SAVER!
If you want to save yourself some time, copy your EverQuest folder and rename it to EverQuest Beta, then use the EQ_Beta_setup.exe program to install on top of your copy.

- The Beta server is wiped periodically, meaning beta characters may be deleted with or without notice.
