Rediscover the lush and magical lost continent of Faydwer in EverQuest® II Echoes of FaydwerTM!

Long isolated by the devastation that befell Norrath, great magic still flows through this mystical land even as powerful evil forces linger in the shadows. The enchanted race known as the Fae spread the influence of growth throughout the deep forests of Faydark, building a new Kelethin with their elven allies in its towering trees. In the abandoned subterranean city of Ak'Anon the clockworks have seized control, forbidding the original gnome inhabitants to enter. From the crumbling peaks of the once mighty Butcherblock Mountains to the broken crags of the Loping Plains, Faydwer endures, but the spirits of the past have found no rest and much has changed in this ancient and vibrant land.

Echoes of FaydwerTM opens an entire continent to players of all levels in EverQuest II®.

* Over 20 new zones- New characters and seasoned veterans alike will find new zones to explore and conquer.
* A brand new player race- Echoes of Faydwer introduces the Fae, a new winged character race!
* New starting city- The treetop city of Kelethin is open to all players.
* New tradeskill adornments- Artisans, now you can further customize your creations by adding adornments that provide new bonuses. Metal studs to increase the durability and protection of your armor or enchanted embers which add fire damage to your sword.
* Player cloaks- Individualize your character with the new cloak equipment slot. Plus, attain special high quality cloaks for you and your guild as you continue to adventure!
* New items- Brand new profession hats, horse mounts, and treasures await discovery. Plus, obtain new armor sets that grant special bonuses when you don a complete set!
* Over 350 new quests- New quests galore, including heritage, signature, collection, tome, and city writ quests.
* More than 40 new NPCs- Encounter many new and unique friends and enemies, including some of the toughest bosses ever!
* More PvP- More player vs. player features, including new titles and new PvP rewards.

Sony won't let me preorder it, for some reason it's convinced that I already did, through some magical feature that I was able to preorder before this was actually possible.

I'm starting to remember why I left EQ in the first place.

Not only can't I alter my subscription (although I'll just resubscribe after my current station access that I wanted to alter to just EQII subscription has expired), now I can't even preorder the new expansion.

Meh, most likely just a glitch from all the people preordering, the site might not be able to handle the load. Heh, could happen.

Strangely enough, Amazon does not have the expansion for sale as yet.

$39.99? Ouch. It's kind of ridiculous for them to be charging a full new-game price for an expansion pack. This doesn't even come with the original game and the other expansions like the retail box will. (Which is, of course, of no use anyway to people who've been playing all along).

I guess they think they can get away with it because Blizzard is gouging for their expansion as well.

Considering the expansion is the size of a stand alone game i can see why the price is what it is. I was fully expecting a 49.99 game.
