EverQuest: The Planes of Power (PoP, POP,
or Planes of Power) is the fourth
expansion to EverQuest, a
massively multiplayer
online role-playing game (MMORPG). The expansion was released in
2002 and comprises
an assortment of otherworldly
planes that do not exist in a
planetary sense within the EverQuest universe.

General information
The expansion added content to the game aimed specifically toward the high-end
player. In addition to adding new zones to the game, the expansion also
introduced a network of portal points through the game realm. Players could use
them to quickly travel to and from various regions through a central plane,
known as Plane of Knowledge.
The primary goal, or end-quest, of The Planes of Power is access to the
Plane of Time. Access to this plane can only be obtained through vanquishing the
four elemental gods and goddesses: Fennin Ro, The Rathe Council, Coirnav and
Xegony. To gain access to all of the zones of the expansion and successfully
enter the Plane of Time, the players needed to complete 28 flag events of all
sorts, involving the death of planar deities and deific creatures. These
encounters can only be completed with the organized effort of up to 72 players
working together simultaneously.
In order to enter the expansion's zones, a player had to reach the former set
planar level of 46. Once the character reached level 55 he gained access to two
more zones which are the Plane of Valor and the Plane of Storms. At 62 the
Bastion of Thunder then became available. Those level limits can be bypassed by
completing the progression of the extansion, allowing for example to be level 46
while adventuring in the Bastion of Thunder. The maximum level was increased
from 60 to 65 with this expansion and new Particle Weapons were added, when
before only epic weapons had such visual effects.
