Thanks for all the informative posts. That PC Gamer article was a great read.

The article was a promotion for the upcoming EQ release, and contained detailed descriptions of the races, classes, and had some quotes from Brad McQuaid. In it, McQuaid said that the world would consist of five continents: Odus, Antonica, Faydwer, Kunark, and Velious.
That would suggest, as others have said, that the world was conceptualized well before launch, though it seems that they couldn't finish everything they wanted by the original release.

I haven't seen that one but will look for it. As a matter of fact even Odus was only partially finished on release, wasn't it? If I recall it consisted only of Erudin, Toxxulia, Kerra Isle and I guess you could throw in Erud's Crossing. Paineel, The Hole, The Warrens and Stonebrunt were all added later.
