Soooo... To roll right in my topic;

For four years now I've been playing WoW, though sometimes I took a break (when school or work was busy, girlfriend etc etc). The last few months I was getting so sick of WoW, and even though I was soooo exciting about the upcoming expansion pack, now that it's settled down it doesn't look thát awesome. More of the same, something I don't want.

So, I went looking for a new MMO, kinda comparable to WoW in price range (like €13 /month) and with that in my mind, I found out about Aion. Signed up for the beta's but never got a key, which kinda sucked 'cause I don't wanna buy the game to figure out my laptop can't handle it!

So, a question, hoping you guys can answer it correctly :) Can my laptop run this game? The specs are as follows:

Windows 7
-AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 Ghz
-2GB ram
-NVidia GeForce 8400M GS

 

Can i play it with this? ;o

 Simplest answer is any computer that can play WoW can handle Aion, only difference is Aion can be set to BETTER graphics. 

 

Long answer...no. You don't game on a laptop! Especially not an MMO....jeez  lol

(my wrists be killing me if I did.)

 

Back on topic...my first sentance still stands. Despite how Aion looks. You can play it on a pretty crappy computer. Anything that can handly WoW can handle Aion.

If you played WoW for four years I don't know if a game like Aion will hold you over.

As for your specs those should be fine for medium setting maybe more.

GL and happy hunting.

 

Why would I play a pathetic themepark MMO when I could enjoy a masterpiece like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Dragon Age?
