Gates is awesome if you play it now on TLP. It's a shame the tuning was so atrocious when it released. Really soured most people on what should have been a great Xpac.

I really dont think this expansion got enough love, tacvi was a very fun zone, except the Orb fight, fuck the orb fight *spits on the ground*

Played back then and didn't know or don't remember any of this. It appears that Mata Muram is basically Shao Kahn, and some of his legion even look like they're from those wonderfully terrible movies. Invasion into our realm, you beat not Shang Tsung, and now it's off to Other World. Neat.

If the nihils are non religious, why do they have priests and temples and holy sites and why do we need their permission to enter these areas?

I just came across this, and found it very enjoyable. I don't enjoy the atmosphere of GoD, probably because i never understand what's going on - who's good and who's evil. This helped paint the picture of that expansion very nicely. Thanks.

GoD originally was so stupidly hard, couldn’t have come at a worst time (just before EQ2 and WoW came out). It was too easy to drop EQ1 for newer pastures considering how bad GoD was. All that work keying into VT, then flagging into Time, raid farming endlessly, only to step into GoD and getting raped by yard trash in a full group. Trash quad regularly for 10k to 12k per round, about as much as a well geared warrior had at the time. Just single regular yard trash would one shot 90% of tanks on the server. My 11k pally could tank only by stun locking mobs. Mess up a trash or slow or stun and someone dies… camp a cleric and survivors kite in circles to buy time. So stupid. Ended up just grouping with 3 or 4 charm classes and two rezzers. Let the charmed mobs obliterate foes and soak up insane exp. Yay, what fun.

I just thought they used up all the Latin names for the Combine empire / Luclin so they moved on to made up languages

It was the ultimate expression of the value system of guilds like Fires of Heaven and its imitators, who at that time had huge influence over the Dev Team, while non raiders were ignored .

We need reasons? Edit: As for the main plot & Big Baddies, sounds similar to Mortal Kombat's setup. Shao Khan from outworld having defeated many different peoples & realms, enslaves them & conscripts their best warriors(still living) into his army to conquer yet more.

As a fellow lore buff I approve! However (/pushes glasses up the nose) Coirnav is not associated with the ocean, that would fall to Prexus, the Ocean Lord. Coirnav isn't even a true "god", but rather the amalgamation of the essence of 3 elemental gods, Povar, E'ci, and Tarew Marr, who's domain are the 3 physical states of water (anagrams for Vapor, Ice, and Water). But if that's the only nit I can find to pick with this then consider it a good job done! Gates is my absolute favorite raiding expansion and it saddens me that so many people discount it.
