EverQuest: Gates of Discord Review

Whether or not you'll enjoy Gates is really going to depend on where you are in your EQ career. If you've explored everything there is to see and you've been bumping heads with the other top guilds in the Elemental Planes, most likely you are already enjoying Gates. I've also noticed that the Gates zones are sparsely populated, so you'll want to head there with a group already formed. On the other hand, if you still have a lot of flags to get in PoP there's still a ton of content appropriate for your level to keep you going. The Tribute, Group Leader and new Alternate Advancement abilities can be used by anyone, and raid leaders may find the expansion worth it just for the new abilities alone. The Berzerker class is a fun novelty, but unless you've been having a hard time deciding what that last alt is going to be, you'll barely notice their existence. Gates is designed for the elite EQ player, so casual players won't get much out of the content. There is a demand for high-end zones, and Gates delivers that quite well. While most of the player base may feel left out by this expansion, it is nice to see SOE address some of the high-end bottlenecks.
