Gates of Discord...
Does this new expansion have ANY lore that you can get into while playing? Do the NPCs have any story, are there well designed new monsters to kill? Do they say anything? Is the level design good?
I'm just curious, I wanna check out the zones and the new monster models. Thanks alot

Nah, Luclin definately had its lore and its stories, and the NPCs and talking MOBs definately had some personality and were decent characters. Pretty much everything after that expansion sucked though, lore-wise...........
Gates of Discord looks so dry and BLAH! My impression of the level design is very bad. It looks bland, unlike what Verant USED to do. And also, where is the immersion by the use of lore and interesting NPC and MOB characters?........:(

Haha... Nah, there was definately lore behind LoY, LDoN, and GoD. Just need to get to the right places, and do the right things.

EQ has no lore.
EQ was a game rushed out to meet a deadline, the systems for distributing lore was weak and un-satisfying. Over the years they've tried to refine the lore, but in the end they fail.
Lore is scrolled on your screen before uber mob fights that NOBODY ever gets a chance to read, because said uber mob is beating the crap out of them.
90% of eq players hear of a quest on a website or from friends, rush out to get the uber reward, ignoring any lore attempted to be given.
Without cutscenes or interesting lore to keep the players attention, random scrolled lines of crap will be ignored. it's a shame but EQ never handled lore very well at all.

I disagree I always scrolled up to see what the gods were saying as we beat the crud out of them in PoP.
-edit-
I HATE GoD and LDoN. Wth is up with this wayfarer gang? Just a stupid advertising thing, its not real lore anymore.
Way to go Sony.

Sure, but as you were doing this, at least 90% of your raid force was focusing on the fight, or you would of gotten your asses kicked =D |

Most PoP raids dont really need enchanters, and when they do Im not busy enough to ignore the lore
