It all depends on who you go with, and what strategy you use. I had one of
the best times ever in EQ the other night in Hate. We had 16 people, 5 of
which were enchanters so we figured we were a bit screwed, but come to find
out we could haul major ass with that setup. We were pulling nonstop to the
big house in the middle, basically the monk would shout out "4 inc" etc and
we'd just mow through them while the enchanter brigade kept things cool. If
you really get rolling in hate it can be a blast, 1 or 2 hr CR times and the
heavy duty setup definitly limits who will find it fun though. It's a
different style of play. The roamers there make it impossible to actually
dungeon crawl and progress through the level. Pulling is a necessity, or
you'd all be dead far too quickly.
