    hi, umm i would say against as they would have to almost remake the game for the lower specs

  • eeargyeeargy Member Posts: 300

    WoW already has very low system requirements compared to most of todays try-hard games. What kind of system specs are you running?

    yeah, WoW's specs aren't very high, just run everything at lower settings if your computer has trouble.

    Don't tell me you have dial up also... You can get a very high end gaming machine for around 800 bucks. I'm sure you can afford that. If not, you shouldn't buy WoW especially with its montly fees.

    As someone from Bilizzard told me when I was complaining about performance issues, upgrade your memory.  If your running 1 gig or better you shouldn't notice much slowdown, even with a low end graphics card.

    The system req. are already low enough.

    The game has very low specs if you compare it to EQII which will require a 128mb graphics card and a better processor speed. Wow still looks the best overall.

    Blizzard even expects the final system requirements to be LOWER than the current ones after they work everything out.  For how low they are already, WoW looks amazing.

    I voted against. I am happy to hear you are getting another computer in January. Their requirements are already low enough. And do as someone else suggested, BUILD YOUR OWN!! You can get more for your money. If you don't know how to do it, see if a friend of yours that may know is willing to help you out.image

    I played the stress test on an 800MHz, 256 ram, 32mb Geforce 2.  Ran just fine with the graphics on medium settings.

    You really have to BUILD your computer

    my 5 years old computer is equal to that

    most idiotic suggestion ever, WOW a 2004/2005 game runs smoother on my and my brothers computer than Anarchy Online, Dark age of camelot, city of heroes, swg and more.

    My brothers comp is a 1.4ghz amd athlon, 512sd ram, a crappy geforce 4 mx card ( cheap version).
    Not only is this a crappy computer but its also 5 years old except the geforce its "only" 3 years old.
    This computer runs wow smooth at 1025x 700 something. I was completly stunned by this since most other new games are rather unplayable.

    With my 2.5hz p4, 512 ddr, geforce4 Ti 4200 128 it runs extremly well. For example during the stresstest when all the servers except some few crashed, everyone would make new chars on the servers meaning that around 200ppl would be in the noobieground (standing around a mob to get ques). In any other game i know of, this would have given me extremly high ping + lag my computer. but actually i could flip/rotate my character like crazy and still have no computer lag at all.

    So to conclude... Wow is just amazing and blizzard are great:)
    great smooth graphics with extremly low reqs

    Wow is already lite superduper deluxe edition imo:)

    I dont think they will revamp the system for lower specs...why?

    1. It will cost more to lower the specs for the entire game which in turn will cost Blizzard Thousands if not more.

    2. One or a thousand people need to just go upgrade their system or buy a new one for around $1,500

    Dont think Blizzard will worry about a minority of those that still are living in the 90's (Computerwise).

    These games and graphics are now and in the future, not the past. I understand that not many might be able to afford new systems, but if you wanna play WoW bad enough...go back to step 2 above:)

    You may want to clean up your hah drive.

    This is what the FAQ says (this may not be the current stats):

    World of Warcraft has NOT yet been optimized for many hardware configurations. The system requirements are expected to be lower for the final shipping version of the game, specifically in regards to processor speed and video card memory requirements. The system specifications listed below are for the World of Warcraft® beta only. The World of Warcraft® Beta test has the following requirements:

    A 56K or higher modem with an internet connection.

    Windows® System/OS:

    • 800 Mhz or higher CPU.
    • 256 Megabytes or more of RAM.
    • Geforce 2 Graphics Card or better.
    • 3 Gigabytes or more of available hard drive space.
    • DirectX® 9.0 or above.
