How big is EverQuest?

  By

Yesterday, while I was playing, someone in general chat asked what the largest zone in EverQuest was.  There was a bit of banter that is was Commonlads, West Karana, or maybe the new Frontier Mountains.  None of these, however, were even in the top 10.  As I work on maps, I have a database of all kinds of data (last revision, presence of traps, one-way walls, teleporters, hunter information) and among this data is the total x and total y distance (which takes into account +/- coordinates).

Top 100 largest zones in EverQuest:

How big is EverQuest?

  By

I started wondering how big EverQuest was in terms of square miles.  After searching around the internet to no avail, I wrote a small program to give the coordinate differences, calculate square feet, and then total the miles.

Grand total: 294.1 Square Miles*

*Note: Should be a bit higher, but missing a few instanced zones that I’m going to find and map.

Top 5 biggest zones (numbers are in square miles):
1. Iceclad Ocean: 20.1
2. Timorous Deep: 11.0
3. Ocean of Tears: 7.0
4. Eastern Wastes: 5.3
5. Zxeishi’s Awakening: 5.3

Perhaps after the next expansion, EverQuest will have over 300 square miles of territory.
