    I honestly can't dish out enough praise to the SOE dev team for how far above and beyond they went with this one; Echoes of Faydwer is the epitome of what a classic expansion should be and is easily among 2006's best releases.

    Everquest II has come a long way since its original launch. With Faydwer and other recent enhancements, though, it's pulled alongside "World of Warcraft" in the race to be an MMO for everyone. [Mar 2007, p.68]

    A great addition to Everquest and will please fans, and may even convert those looking for a better MMO. It is friendly to new players and experts alike and should keep us busy until the next expansion pack is released.

    As attractive as it is bolstered with new content - everyone from hardcore trade-skillers to constant raiders to newbies are catered for. [Feb 2007, p.83]

    Without question, however, Echoes of Faydwer seems to be paving the way for the EQII of tomorrow, and that is no small feat. If you've been curious about the game, this is without a doubt the best place to start.

    Technical issues aside, it is a game that has matured, grown, and evolved, and I recommend checking it out.

    The BEST expansion of all time for ANY MMO. This is the expansion that really re-launched EQ2 and made it the excellent game that it is today.

    EQ2 is fast becoming the MMO of choice for people wanting to play something other than WoW. With regular expansions, adventure packs and live EQ2 is fast becoming the MMO of choice for people wanting to play something other than WoW. With regular expansions, adventure packs and live updates, coupled with a good development team, there is always something to do for all styles of play - casual to hard core raider. This expansion is the best one so far, introducing a new race, content for all levels of play, 2 new crafting professions (transmuting and tinkering) - these are the main things that stand out. The musical score and art are excellent - with the art team having a strong direction now (at launch there wasn't good art direction). This expansion pack is a great time for new players to jump on too as it includes the basic game and the previous two expansions. Try it out, you won't regret it.… Expand

Shadows and animation bring life to the world. The sound enhances the immersion as most of the people really speak to you. Caracter advancement is very motivating as the achievement point system leads to new choices with each point. Many new abilities are locked free level by level, so there are lots of things to toy around with. No game is perfect, but this one here should get a lot more attention (yes, I played wow, and thats a good game too, but my choice is Everquest 2 quite clearly).… Expand
