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:
“Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
