Amazon.com Product Description

Everything you need to begin adventuring in EverQuest comes in this box, which is both an expansion pack and the core EverQuest game. This special collector's edition of Planes of Power also comes with a limited-run figurine of Firiona Vie, High Elf and EverQuest cover girl.

EverQuest: The Planes of Power introduces EverQuest players to an arching story line through the Planes of Power, home of the gods of Norrath. Hundreds of new items, quests, and encounters will keep even the most revered players challenged and enthralled.

In The Planes of Power, a portal has been unveiled that leads to a world unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Players can share in the knowledge of this extraordinary discovery as they fight to bring justice to Norrath. Veteran players will face fresh challenges in each of the 18 newly discovered planes, while novice players will benefit from the Plane of Knowledge that hosts scores of new and challenging quests along with open portals to Norrath, making travel faster and easier than ever. Players will fiercely battle the minions of Rallos Zek in the Plane of War, join arms with Karana to regain control of the Plane of Storms, and overcome vile pestilence in the Plane of Disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, November 6, 2002

This review is from: EverQuest: Planes of Power Collector's Edition with Firiona Vie Figurine (CD-ROM)

The new Planes of Power expansion is the best expansion to date. There are countless amounts of new quests and items and many new experiences to be had for the higher level player that's bored of Kunark and Velious. Yes, as someone else posted, you do have to be 46+ to enjoy the Planes of Power expansion, but even if you aren't the portals in Planes of Knowledge and the quests you can do are still worth while. As for needing multiple 61+ groups like a previous poster said, this is untrue. Yes, you are limited to only 6 planes if you aren't of a good level and in a decent guild, but those 6 zones are amazing. The experience you get in any of the planes is alot better than anywhere else. Even the favorite experience zones like the revamped Cazic-Thule, Dragon Necropolis, and Chardok can't touch it.

Anyway, no matter what level you are, I feel that the first plane, the Plane of Knowledge, is worth the [money] alone. With this plane you are never more than 5 zones away from anything and you no longer have to search for a wizard/druid and beg/pay them to port you there. Also, anyone can enter the Plane of Knowledge, not just 46+. PoK has much more than just portals, most tradeksill items are sold there, and many new ones wait to be found. There's numerous quests you can do in the Planes of Knowledge that can be done by players of various levels. Plus, for once the soundtrack is great. Not many people played the current EQ with the music on, in most zones there wasn't even anything to listen to, but that's changed with Planes of Power. Each plane has it's own rich, vibrant music that alot of are people enjoying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good lord Kevin is bitter., December 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: EverQuest: Planes of Power Collector's Edition with Firiona Vie Figurine (CD-ROM)

Don't listen to him, he's probably one of the types that think that customer service = getting what you want, when you want. And monks aren't broken. People need to learn when it's appropriate to use the term "nerf". :P

Honestly, Everquest is a nitch game. You either really like it or you don't. Sony/Verant actually does a good job in adding content, but one thing that Kevin doesn't realize is that when you add new content, you can't test it to be compatible with EVERY single system out there (I can speak from experience, I used to be a game tester).

Now for the Planes of Power review. Planes of Power is GREAT, even if you aren't of the 55th+ level, the ability to port yourself from the Plane of Knowledge to basically anywhere in the game world is invaluable. The experience gain in PoP is phenominal, especially if you are able to find a group in the mid-50s. They did add some no-drop vendor purchasable spells pre-61st level for some classes, but they aren't anything to write home about. The whole parchment system needs work though, but they did increase the drop rate in some planes.

The one thing that I don't like about Planes of Power is that the /raid system is a PoP-enabled feature only. Which basically means that those who can't/won't buy PoP, you cannot use the /raid system (which is beautiful, it's about time) unless you group those without PoP together and the rest go on /raid.

All in all, even though I'm not 61+ plus yet and have only seen the tier 1 planes, it's a great expansion. Much better then Kunark. :D

4.0 out of 5 stars Far from worthless, November 5, 2002

By 

Mike (Ann Arbor, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EverQuest: Planes of Power Collector's Edition with Firiona Vie Figurine (CD-ROM)

PoP is a worthwhile expansion for players of all levels. The planes are restricted to higher level players, but there is enough value here to warrant a purchase by a lower level character.

Quite simply, travel is easier than ever before thanks to the Plane of Knowledge. You can port from the plane of knowledge to almost any city in the game. The hour long run from Freeport to Qeynos? No more. Go from Freeport to PoK, then port back down to Qeynos. It's that simple.

Additionally, PoP offers some badly needed improvements for previously marginalized classes (shadow knights). Furthermore, there are trainers and spell vendors for every class in the game, all in one handy spot. You don't even have to worry about faction, everyone in PoK is indifferent to all.

Also, this is hardly the worst expansion available for EQ. At least PoP was ready to go when it was released. Can you say Luclin?
