A '''legendary server''' is a special type of game [[Worlds|world]] that caps the maximum level for players at a certain level based on a previous expansion. Generally, only content from that expansion and earlier is available. Periodically, the maximum level is raised and the content of the next expansion becomes available. There are many deeds unique to the legendary servers which can provide cosmetics, titles and [[Character Portrait Frames|portrait frames]], some of which are awarded to every character on the player's account when earned. Access to the legendary servers requires an active [[VIP|VIP subscription]]. PvMP and [[Monster Play]] are not available on the legendary servers. Several old quests which were removed from starter zones were made available again on legendary servers.
