P99 green/teal is supposed to be base EQ before expansions. Velious wasn't introduced as a place to travel to in EverQuest until over a year and a half later.

Looks like it was in from the start. They had Kunark/Velious continents already sketched out in the lore somewhat at EQ release.

In Freeport, there is a sign on the boathouse which says "book
passage/Faydwer/Kunark". I was in Erudin tonight. There is also a sign:
Book Passage
Qeynos
Velious
Velious. Hmmm.....

No actually Vellious is a whole new continent. It was probably
planned for release in the retail box (note the box says "five
continents") and it is referred to by several NPCs (only in
Everfrost that I've seen so far).
According to the storyline of Norrath, Kunark is the last refuge
of the Combine Empire. If you kill in Sol A or B you'll notice
you'll lose or gain faction with KunarkFireGiants. This seems to
indicate that the FGs have their home in Kunark. The information
about Kunark seems to indicate that there are a lot of giants there
too.
Talk to the barbarian NPCs in Everfrost and they will talk about
Permafrost. They will say that it is the home of the last remaining
Ice Giants. The rest have long since gone to the ice covered
continent of Vellious.
I haven't seen that sign in Erudin but am somewhat surprised its
there. I would've expected the boat there to be from Halas if
anywhere.
Still I doubt we'll see Vellious anytime soon (if at all). Maybe
EQ3?

Talk to Tundra Jack, he'll mention that the ice giants pulled up stakes and
moved to Velious, the continent is also mentioned in the history of norrath
in the game manual.
Probably never going to make it...the whole place would be incredibly
dull...there is only so much you can do with an icy wasteland.

You heard it here first folks, Velious is incredibly dull. Best stop Green at Kunark.
