With ''EverQuest II'', [[Sony Online Entertainment]] introduced the concept of Adventure Packs (an innovation created by [[Sean Kauppinen]], who was the head of international Product PR at the time). Adventure Packs are meant to be smaller "mini-expansions" to the game, adding a plot line with several zones, new creatures and items to the game via digital download. These smaller Adventure Packs come with a smaller fee ranging from [[US$]]4.99 to US$7.99, but recently the development team has decided to release free zones and content instead of making adventure packs. Some recent releases include a new starting city, Neriak, with a new starting race, Arasai;<ref name="GU35">{{cite web|url=http://eq2players.station.sony.com/game_updates_details.vm?id=35|title=EverQuest II Players - Game Update #35|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011094551/http://eq2players.station.sony.com/game_updates_details.vm?id=35|archive-date=2007-10-11}}</ref> and new high level dungeons, The Throne of New Tunaria<ref name="Throne_preview">{{cite web|url=http://www.igxe.com/news/game-news-1232.html|title=EverQuest II: Game Update 36 Peek and Screenshots - igxe.com}}</ref> and the Estate of Unrest.<ref name="GU32">{{cite web|url=http://eq2players.station.sony.com/game_updates_details.vm?id=32|title=EverQuest II Players - Game Update #32|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011101509/http://eq2players.station.sony.com/game_updates_details.vm?id=32|archive-date=2007-10-11}}</ref>

Similar to other games, expansions can be bought in stores or downloaded through a digital service. The retail versions often come packaged with a bonus feature such as a creature that the player can put in their in-game house. Expansions generally introduce many new zones with new plot lines, features, creatures, items, cities and often come with a boost in the level cap or a new player race. Currently, all players have been given the expansions preceding ''Destiny of Velious'' as part of the base game. Access to levels above 92 and their respective zones require the purchase of the ''Tears of Veeshan'' expansion, which includes the previous ''Chains of Eternity'' expansion. Free to Play accounts have access to the same areas as subscription accounts, but have certain restrictions in place. Many of the free to play restrictions have been removed, including bag slot restrictions, coin restrictions, quest journal limits, race and class restrictions, and gear restrictions, but other restrictions such as the inability to buy or sell items on the broker as a free player, having spell tier restrictions, and being unable to move the alternate advancement slider remain.

* ''[[EverQuest II: East]]'' was created for the East Asian market (mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea) but it was terminated as a separate edition on 29 March 2006. ''EverQuest II: East'' players were moved to standard servers. The special character models created for the game had already been included in the standard edition as a client-side option since 2005.
* ''EverQuest II Extended'' - in early 2010, Sony Online Entertainment consulted the ''EverQuest II'' player population to determine the extent of support for adding a free-to-play model to ''EverQuest II''. The resulting product, ''EverQuest II Extended'', was unveiled in the summer at FanFaire 2010. A significant game update coincided with the beta release of ''EverQuest II Extended'', which revamped the game's user interface and newbie experience and revised many of the previous rules related to character creation. In December 2011, free-to-play access was added to the existing ''EverQuest II Extended'' servers and the former ''EverQuest II Extended'' Freeport server was added among them.
