Category: News ArchiveHits: 822
The areas surrounding Faydark will be populated by all sorts of interesting inhabitants, and many of them hearken back to EverQuest's rich history. Mid-level players will be able to venture to the Steamfont Mountains, the ancestral home of the Gnomes, and help its beleaguered denizens combat the Clockworks -- mechanized creatures that have gained sentience and developed an active disdain for their creators. The Dwarves, meanwhile, strive to reclaim the Butcherblock Mountains from the dark forces that have taken control. According to SOE, each of the five outdoor zones that will be introduced in Echoes will have quest content designed into them for both solo and group players, and most of them will house unique instanced dungeons -- many of which will be post-Rending versions of the original EverQuest's racial cities.
