In summary: Throne of Destiny offers returning players many new options that weren't offered to them in the early years of Asheron's Call ranging from more levels, a new playable race, new areas to explore, augmentation gems and the new tiered rare system. Newer players to the Asheron's Call game world may not see much difference but then after more than five years the world of Dereth is rather large and enormously deep and will take some time to explore before that new player would find themselves ready for the new content. It's not bad as far as expansion packs go - though there was so I'd hoped would be done that wasn't. I'll just have to wait for the next expansion to see more.
