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:
