EverQuest: Gates of Discord Critic Reviews

As an expansion pack this isn't a new game but it throws you enough bones to begin construction of a medium-sized graveyard.

For the player who has played this game for a while, there's a palpable aura in the air -- the risk and challenge are back, the dangerous continent of Taelosia beckons. We are playing with an enthusiasm many of us haven't felt in a long, long time. Hats off.

The challenge is back for the upper-level players and the new class is fun to play. The game also sports some wonderful new attributes which make grouping more fun and rewarding.

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.

The true standout here, though, is the area design. The zones are absolutely stunning with a palette of rich colors and textures.

Caters mainly to the higher level players. For those players, I would say that GoD is the most extreme add-on for EverQuest to date, in terms of being challenging, and it’s a must have.

If you haven't bought Gates yet, look into the mirror and ask yourself: "How many times do I want to die today?" Seriously, only the insane need apply.
