	<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab\|Bagil, Sybil and Manuel are located in US-West, while Terry and Events Hall EU are located in Europe. Population numbers vary depending on many factors. Manuel has higher enforced roleplaying standards than the others and an [[Roleplay_Rules\|extra set of rules]]. The Events Hall server is intended to be for new players wanting to learn the game. Events Hall was formerly mostly used for special events, and thus the name. Some servers are there for future proofing, in case another sudden population growth happens. Many of the servers are normally hidden from the BYOND hub (the client's server list). \|dropdown=true\|collapsed=true\|name=Server Differences}}</div>
