In 1999, the PC game EverQuest launched and single-handedly redefined the massively multiplayer online role-playing game genre (MMORPG). In the years since its release, EverQuest has dominated other stateside subscription-based role-playing games and continues to expand its universe for hundreds of thousands of players. In the beginning of 2003, EQ took over the less crowded console MMORPG market as well by launching EverQuest: Online Adventures for the PlayStation 2. EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers (EQOA:F) is the second edition of the popular PS2 game, adding new features, environments, and characters, but retaining everything that is familiar and essential to a game labeled EverQuest.
