World of Warcraft - Post Your Characters!

Fatal: One very simple but oh so important thing. Quests. There is actually something for you to do in this game besides just walk around and kill stuff. And i mean, once your done with the Ironforge quests, you can just take the deeprun tram (for free, no stupid level limitations) to Stormwind and start doing quest chains there. THATS the sole thing that made my get hooked on WoW. Well that and it just simplely being the best game ever made bar none.

Literally the game will just keep going, and going, and going. And going. And going. There's just -too much- to do. Although there is the occasional repetition and tedium in the questage, you're always traveling somewhere, unraveling something, getting new skills, and finding/buying new equipment. The auction house is one of the most well-organized trading systems I've seen.

The world is also HUGE, just enormous, and immensely detailed, every place having a story, every background rendered beautifully. The people and the places all have -character- to them. Going into Stormwind on foot is breathtaking the first time. And it's even more awesome if you know it from previous WCs. I remember flying by Blackrock Spire on my way to Ironforge, then by the Altar of Storms, just completely in awe.

That's kind of the problem. The game is too good. It's like a DRUG. I know if I buy it, my life will be sucked away -_-

Yeah. Around 15 bucks a month. 95% of all MMORPGs require you to pay a monthly fee. If you've seen even half of the endless amounts of work put into most MMORPGs, you would know why there is a fee. Especially with games like City Of Heroes, which release an expansion like patch that's completly free every few months.

the fee goes on costs like server costs, GM's to provide a robust help system, and for people to constantly develop new features, quests , items etc.

You can also choose to pay once every 6 months, which is less $/month.

I thought the same by the way: "I'll never pay to play", but then I played the open beta

Can someone give me some specs needed to run this game? And information on the pay-to-play thingie? I'm really thinking of getting this game when it's out here, but I want some info first.... o_o

Okay thanks, but I have one more question. I seem to have the minimal requirements but I've had this a lot, I doubt it'll run. Is there anyone here who runs WoW on a 800 Mhz with 256 mb RAM? And how smooth will it run?

Last question before I ruin the topic

Unless you have a 6800 Ultra in there (which would be greatly bottlenecked anyway) you probably wouldn't be able to run WoW. I believe the minumum requirements are somewhere around 1.2 GHz.

The site Orion gave me said minimum requirements were 800 mhz

but those things are hardly accurate so...thanks for answering my questions guys. :yes:

wow engine = warcraft3 engine with slight upgrades.. if you're vidcard can run warcraft3, it will surely be able to run wow (at min settings).. just get 512 ddr ram and you're set

That's not really accurate..

There are plenty of cards out there that can support WC3, but not WoW--you can look at the list of "supported" video cards for either of them. I've personally tried to run it on a computer with a Radeon 7000--an old one of my mother's, and it wouldn't work. However, that computer played WC3:TFT. I ordered a crappy Radeon 9000 for the computer, and it runs decently at low settings, however this computer, with only 512MB of DDR, everytime you enter a new area, the game slows down to a crawl for about 15 seconds. (Note, the processor is 2.4GHz), and alt-tabbing after playing for about an hour is a nightmare.

Also, the WoW engine and the WC3 engine are completely non-related.
