EverQuest II: Echoes of Faydwer Review

Category: News ArchiveHits: 751
Echoes of Faydwer is the first expansion to EverQuest 2 that isn't primarily aimed at high-level players. It is possible to begin at level one and adventure all the way to level 70, without ever having left the continent of Faydwer. Perhaps it is for this reason that I find it to be the best of the content upgrades, it just seems so much fuller and well-rounded. There's certainly an abundance of extras for everyone, and in my eyes that is exactly who MMo developers should have in mind anytime they decide to add new material to a persistent world- everyone. Now is a very good time to think about giving this franchise a try too, not just because there are so many new things to see and do, but also because SOE have packaged all previous releases into this one box. There is an excellent dollar value here: EverQuest 2, Desert of Flames, Kingdom of Sky, and Echoes of Faydwer, all on two DVD's for roughly $40.00 or so dollars. Plus, the in-house clockwork whirligig pet you get is easily the coolest bonus the developers have included since the baby dragon in the original release special edition. So, is this (worth playing)? Absolutely. Why are you still reading this? Go out and get it!
