Development
EQOA was developed and published by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and first released on February 11, 2003 in North America. The game was developed so that it did not require a hard disk drive like the other MMORPG on the PlayStation 2, Final Fantasy XI did. Since no HDD for the system was ever released in PAL-territories EQOA remained the only MMORPG there.
EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers was launched on November 17, 2003. Frontiers added another playable race, the Ogre, and character class Alchemist, as well as many quests and items.
The continued development of content after the first expansion was introduced as free content updates instead of additional expansion packs.
The end of EverQuest Online Adventures was announced on the game's site on February 29, 2012. The shut down date was Thursday, March 29, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
—L. P. Wandersman (20th century)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
