Ok, this game is so cool. EverQuest rox anyways so this expansion made it better. The coolest part about this game is probably the beserker. This class is really fun because its a combo of all the melee classes. And it has its own combination of a spell making 20 throwing axes or other weps. The zones are prolly cool but i havent been there yet. Overall this game rox and if u get it and you try the beserker and dont like you should make sure you had read how to play them and use there abilities. This game is fun.

Pretty Cool

Just to clear up a few things. First the leadership exp does not take away from leveling or AA exp. That said the expansion is mainly for very high level (read 65th) with tons of good gear and AA. The items being droped by mobs in the deeper zones rivals and quit often beat time gear. The tribut system is not worth the cost but can be a big help in major fights. The trade skill system is worth it by its self. All in all the new zones are not for the meek:). It will allow a single group that works hard to get into time or better gear without being time flaged and that is the MAIN reason I give it four stars.

So-so

As soon as this expansion was released, some peeps went out and "bought" thousands, if not millions of Tribute points with the lowest of the low items and platinum. SOE "fixed" the problem so that now, you get less for more that you must pay. SOE also says they intend to "limit" the number of Tribute points each character may have. Enough said about points. As for the leadership ability, it's helpful, but...like AAs, you will need to divert experience away in order to apply points to leadership. The new zones are so-so and loads of 60's (mostly topped) characters were in them on Rodcet Nife, anyway. I don't have any characters quite that high, but I would imagine that there are many items only available in those new places, just like the planes. Get this if you are topped and bored, if new, I would wait until leveling to at least 55.

You need to be level 65 and in a high end raiding guild to do anything in this expansion. It is very buggy. Do not waste your time and money.

buggy and rushed

its new, its buggy, and it feels undeveloped. The new berserker class added in this expansion has features that are obviously broken. trade skill items are there, but of little use to anyone able to explore the content.

Tradeskill interface

Keep in mind the new tradeskill interface was NOT included only with the Gates of Discord expansion; the new interface was made available to everyone.

I didn't buy the GoD expansion and I am happy that I didn't. Most of what I've heard from friends and guildies is that the expansion just wasn't worth it. Nerfing the vendor buy price on fish along with SOE's massive tribute point reduction that was made *after* everyone turned in a good amount of plat and items was just low.

I've read that SOE is working on fixing some of the content so that casual players can begin to get more from this expansion instead of just ONE hunting zone. Until they do that or once it shows up in the $9.99 bargain bins I would suggest not buying this expansion.

Donýt waste your money for this expansion

Unless you are an Elemental Flagged player, do not spend your money on this expansion. My main is level 65 with 50ish AA's and I am only able to see 3 combat zones. This is one of the worse expansion that SOE has ever released.

I love eq but honestly, this expansion is not worth it.

If you aren't in a raiding guild you will be disappointed

The expansion was advertised as being for Everquest players in the 55-65 level range. The expansion is for level 65 players with elemental and time gear in raiding guilds. Berserkers may be interesting, time will tell, but as far as the game goes, the zones are structured to have a progression like Planes of Power. If you are an average non-raiding guild player it will be a long time before you do anything beyond the tier 1 zones if you can even survive the ones beyond the Abysmal Sea and Natimbi. There is very little content for the average player - very much like the Planes of Power expansion. You may as well wait a bit for the bugs to be worked out, the price to drop, and see if they do anything to make the expansion a bit more worthwhile for most players in the level range.
