[[Vanguard]] - A private test server where a select few players tested content prior to it going live to the retail servers. This server existed, presumably, for the entirety of the retail game.

[[Shadowclaim]] - A public test server that was available from April 26th, 2003 to April 28th, 2003 to stress test some new server hardware. The character database was an exact copy of Solclaim, hence the name Shadowclaim.
