flame snipped here.

i think the biggest reasons they dont have switching between servers are:

1) it would require one machine to house all the characters for all the
servers. that would get bogged down quicker than the login server now.

2) the world of EQ has a money and item system that is well balanced.
switching characters between servers would cause an unbalancing of this.
believe it or not, there is an economy in Norrath. if you ever lost your
corpse, you know what i mean. they wont give you everything you lost unless
they can find it somewhere else in the game or on another corpse that was
lost, for you. they wont ever just conjure one up and give it to you.
