Expansion packs
The Ruins of Kunark
The first expansion pack for EverQuest was The Ruins of Kunark, released on April 24, 2000. It introduced the continent of Kunark to the game, which had been previously unexplored. The storyline of the discovery of Kunark was established through in-game events and fiction published on the web by Verant Interactive.
In the United States, The Ruins of Kunark sold 92,172 units between February 2001 through the first week of November. Desslock of GameSpot reported that the game and The Scars of Velious "sold well early in the year, but sales evaporated during the course of the summer, especially after the release of Camelot".
During the 4th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences awarded The Ruins of Kunark with the "Massive Multiplayer/Persistent World" award, and received nominations for "PC Game of the Year" and "Game of the Year".
The Scars of Velious
The Scars of Velious was released on December 5, 2000.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2013 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16259498. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000 and 2001.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
