Revision as of 23:13, 30 November 2008

All of the severs allow players to be Player Killers, Darktide is exclusively PK, the other servers default to Non Player Killer and also let players do Player Killer Lite.

All of these servers used to be hosted on Zone.msn.com until Turbine bought the franchise entirely from Microsoft in 2003. The servers remained at a hosting facility in Washington State until 2008 when all server hardware was replaced and relocated to a facility in Massachusetts near Turbine headquarters.

Test Servers

Internal Test Server

As mentioned in numerous posts by developers, Turbine has an internal test server. It is currently not available for players, supposedly. There has been some active players granted access to the test server to test content prior to it being delivered to the general player base.
