Mind you, I do prefer the Desert of Flames zones over the Kingdom of Sky zones as a solo player.
But the game has improved considerably with every expansion released, and the new one won't be an exception!
It's delightful to play a Fae and the new zones aren't all bad to walk around in. As far as I can tell after only a very short time in Faydwer, I like the changes and the new zones. Perhaps a bit too bland and similar to the ones we have though, and Butcherblock sure seems rather small and still haven't found Unrest, but all in all very good.
