rofl a PC gamer would only need a pentium 1 computer, or even lower. Still have most fun with the older games. (Red allert 1 still beats the newer ones, settlers one and two still beats the newer one :P) and tetris and pacman and still onesof the most played games ever. So a TRUE PC gamer can still enjoy himself with pc specs this low and does not requere grafics to entertain himself and is satisfied with the great gameplay and replayability older games came with.

Anyhow the specs WAR seems are good enough and poeple should be easily get a computer to get the specs needed.

P? Interesting. Core 2 Duos should be very happy. I wonder if they will require some processor affinity setting if you have  the Dual or Quad core rigs. Given the general flood of the market it would seem kind of silly if there wasn't out of box support for multi-core but we'll see.

I suppose they made the game 'happy' for slightly older machines not only to try to stay in the WoW marketability range but to gain some foothold on unhappy 'specced out' players for AoC.

I can't wait!

Yeah kind of a shocker to me the 15gb. I am used to CoV/CoH and their 3GB of space it takes up.

<----- 256 MB vid card in my laptop. So I can play at both work and home sweeeet!

That number will probably be trimmed down a little. They still got optomizations to do before launch.

The numbers are also a good wake-up call to gamers who maybe don't have a lot of money to upgrade their computers, so they only do so once in a while. If you don't make the minimum, or just barely make it, it means it's time to upgrade.

A lot of gamers don't know a whole lot about computers, or they have someone close who knows a lot that they go to for help. But now they know "hey, my laptop isn't going to cut it."

Awesome!! my rig is going to smoke this game.

this game 15 gb is waaaay to big.  

i love tibia.  small and cute .  Enuff said

Damn! I meet every requirement except for video card. Looks like I'll be getting a new one....I hope. 

I remember when Funcom came out with minimum specs for AoC.  Guess what, the minimum spec'd pc could basically boot up AoC, not play it.  Heck even the recommended spec for AoC could barely play the game. 

I think that Mythic has been quietly chortling over Funcom's problems.  I imagine these recommendations are far better than Funcom's failure.

Some suggestions, if you want to play one of these new MMOs.

 1) you need lots of ram, 2mb is rock bottom,  I would recommend 4gb with Vista.

 2) a decent graphics card should be your most expensive part.  Avoid the Dell, Sony, HP, etc gaming machines they chintz on the graphics cards always.  If you do buy one of these units, expect to upgrade the graphics card.  I see a lot of Nvidia 8500 in those systems and that card just does not do well in these games.

 3) If you don't have a duel core 64 bit processor, you need a new computer.

 4) Make sure you get 64 bit Vista, ( since XP is no longer being sold),  32 bit Windows sticks all addresses(graphics memory, device driver memory, etc.) down in the 4gb range hence you can waste lots of memory depending on your system.  I have seen some systems with 4gb with less than 2gb available.  Dumb to waste 2gb of memory, just because of addressing problems with the operating system.   Again the major manufacturers all ship 32 bit windows, so you have to specifically request 64 bit.  Price is the same.

Wow, my pc is out of the running. It lacks the card AND the RAM for the minimum reqs lol

15GB sounds fair enough. Also requirements looks little lower than AoC. I hope that there is some decent optimization done and it will work well with plenty of peeps running around.

It does run great with hundreds of people running around now.  I've seen over 50 vs. 50 in open RvR battles run flawlessly.  Unlike AoC, which has already been out now for a couple months.

Aww I just got a new computer

Inter(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz
2,00 GB Ram
XFX GeForce 8800GT

ect

but I need 2.5 GHz something?

Any one of your processors is faster than the 2.5 ghz spec.  This is a pre-65nm spec.

You re perfectly fine, slap a little more ram in there and you ll run like a dream.

Your processor can easily be overclocked to 3ghz without raising cpu temp (no kidding.)  Look it up online if you are wanting to get more out of your quad cpu.   Also, if you are the one building a computer.. I don't recommend XFX or those other companies.  EVGA and BFG are the top of the line, although may be slightly more expensive.

That's what happens when you try to sound sophisticated... and fail.

15GB for the client? No doubt Warhammer will be sold as a retail box so does that mean 4 DVD disks or (gasps!) a single Blu-ray disk? Surely not the latter.

I doubt they would even put out an optional Blu-ray disk.  It's too soon for that, even though the technology has been around for a while.  How long did it take games to get onto DVD's?  There's your answer! =O

I hope that processor info is wrong.

i'm using a 1.8ghz p3, but i have a big video card and ram.

After everything is loaded, or cached i don't see why we would need a 2.5ghz p4....

This scares me... Must be a very intense UI.
