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:
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“The young women, what can they not learn, what can they not achieve, with Columbia University annex thrown open to them? In this great outlook for women’s broader intellectual development I see the great sunburst of the future.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
