Gates of Discord (GoD, GOD, Gates, or simply the Gates expansion) is the seventh expansion released for EverQuest — a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). The expansion focused on high-level content, providing a number of zones meant to be used by large groups of players, and many extremely powerful monsters to fight.
General information
The expansion takes place on the
continent of
Taelosia and introduced the Muramites, as well as the berserker
character class. It features 18 zones, including many instances which add the expansion characteristic of the 54 player expedition limit. It has 9 single-group instanced trials, 8 uninstanced exp zones, and 9 raid zones/instances.
Controversy
Many players and reviewers were dissatisfied by the
Gates of Discord expansion; some claimed it was thus far the worst
EverQuest expansion, or at least the worst since
The Shadows of Luclin. Gamers perceived
Gates of Discord as an unfinished product and criticized
Sony Online Entertainment (SOE). The main issues were with the rushed release that had some unbeatable content, and problems with the graphics engine which was updated at the same period.
