EverQuest 2 - Echoes of Faydwer

With over 500,000 members, EveryQuest 2 is still one of the most popular MMORPGS out there. Many gamers have at least taken a look at the EverQuest universe to see what all the fuss is about. EverQuest 2 - Echoes of Faydwer is the new expansion coming out in just a few months. Faydwer was a region in the original EverQuest game and the real home of the elves, dwarves and gnomes. The expansion is aimed at current and new gamers and will not include a higher level cap. What it will include is new dungeons, new characters, and more space for you to explore whenever you feel like it. Fae is the new race that you are able to play with. They are tiny creatures but with great scouting and spellcasting abilities. Newbies and veterans should both be pleased by this upcoming expansion.

The major new addition is the new playable fae race. Fae are faeries, and these tiny sprites can make good spellcasters and scouts. Though technically the shortest race in the game, the fae end up being about as tall as the gnomes thanks to the fact that their feet never touch the ground. Instead, these faerie folk float around using beautiful, delicate wings that you can customize in color and appearance. These wings aren’t powerful enough to propel the fae high into the air, so you won’t be able to fly over obstacles, but they will let the fae slowly parachute to the ground, so you can leap off of cliffs and other tall objects. This comes in particularly handy considering that the fae’s main city is Kelethin, an old elf town located high in the trees–sort of like an Ewok village in Return of the Jedi. To get down to the ground, where random encounters can be fought, simply jump off any of the edges of the city and float down, because yes, it’s still a long way down from those treetops, just like in the original game.”

Expect new content for all levels in the game, ranging from beginners to veterans alike. In terms of character creation, the fae will be the most customizable race yet in EverQuest II. We already noted the wings customization. You can select from a variety of wing types–most look inspired by butterfly and insect wings–and then customize the color patterns with up to two colors.
