EverQuest: Gates of Discord Review

ComputerAndVideoGames.com has posted a review of Gates of Discord, giving the EverQuest expansion an overall score of 68/100. A snippet:

What else? Well, Gates also introduces new experience tracks, especially good if you took advantage of the leadership tools that LDON introduced. There’s also a tribute system that’ll help liquidate that bloodstained tunic and rubicite armour you’ve been hoarding in your crowded vault for five years into ‘tribute buffs’. A bunch of new spells and disciplines for all classes are here too, as well as an entirely new brand of stress-related headache. The latter is particularly aimed at anyone who thrives on getting destroyed by something really big that they didn’t see coming – and wouldn’t have been able to handle even if they had.

The key thing to point out is that Gates Of Discord is not for beginners. It’s tailored to players who have eight level 65 characters on at least 14 servers (OK, nine or ten maybe). What’s more, you must also be adept at working under well-orchestrated group dynamics. As always, playing solo is not an option.
