kingofsquid Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) KingofSquid, On the late game content (Outlands and Northrend (60+)) you are going to experience slow downs due to graphical overloads. For the end game, if you are willing you might be able to wing it with a cleaned and optimised system on 1gig. ram and 8600 or better card (Sorry don't know the Ati equvalents) and a free connection of 1Mbit. The better your system is, the better the game will look and play (As you will be able to open magic and envirolment effects ) If you are a student on a low budget, WoW is one of the cheapest entertainment avenues out there but other than that it is becoming a lot boring for the long time players. So I do not need high speed to play, and 256 will work?I have an ATI mobility 128 AGP 2X (Dell). Processor is Intel Pentium III, ~850 Mhz. Page file says i have 405mb available. Sooooooooo?

Aristes Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 You might get it to work on your dad's rig, King, but it's going to be murder in the cities and you're going to take up what's left of his hard drive which will screw over the virtual memory for anyone who uses the machine. At a little over 3 gigs, you don't have much there for installing newer games. Is a new computer out of the question? If so, there are other games out there that will cause considerably less grief. Not a lot of the newer games, but some of them and some really good older games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 WoW+BC+WotLC need ~15GB all together plus some extra for the updates. You can probably get a WoW-capable PC for like $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsquid Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Holy crap. With everything, that equals at least 300 dollars. I might be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 WoW like we've said takes up HUGE amounts of space. And if your system specs are what you posted then you probably can't play anything made after 2004. 256 mb of ram is TINY in this day and age. My computer wheezes during raids and I've got 1 gig.

mrmud Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So I do not need high speed to play, and 256 will work?I have an ATI mobility 128 AGP 2X (Dell). Processor is Intel Pentium III, ~850 Mhz. Page file says i have 405mb available. Sooooooooo? Just forget it. With that computer you have no chance in hell of playing anything more recent than 5-6 years and certainly wont be able to play WoW.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 WoW's art style is just there to compensate for having to support older computers. Say all you want, the game is not pretty. One quick look at Orgrimmar makes me cringe. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

EUIX Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Can you suggest a REALLY good game for either PC or PS2, then? Or Wii. You can instead shoot heroin into your bloodstream, it would be better then WoW. "For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

One quick look at Orgrimmar makes me cringe. I quite like WoW's art style, but yeah it's not very high tech. But I have to say it never takes me out of the game because it's at least consistent. Or will be again, anyway, as the new areas are getting updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
