Everquest 2 - Echoes of Faydwer - Gamespy Review

When the main criticism for a game is that;
Those who want to start as evil newbies are out of luck.
you just know that it must be good. And it is. Everquest 2: Echoes of Faydwer gets a going over from Gamespy and comes out of it smelling pretty good.

Can Echoes of Faydwer validly be called EQII's first "real" expansion? It certainly is the first to introduce content for players of all levels. As for whether or not it's the one that's changed the game most appreciably for the better, it all depends on what sort of player you are. Higher level players might have gotten more mileage out of prior expansions, while PvPers were served in equal portions by Desert of Flames and Kingdom of Sky (and their respective live updates). 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. Just make sure you're OK playing as one of the good guys.
