PM me and Ill show ya the ropes if you join.

Thanks -- I'll definitely PM you. I'm installing the motherfucker right now -- I'm on disc 4. Anyway, I'll probably use my uncle's account at first to tune the settings and see if it's even worth playing on my shitty comp. But, if it is, then I'll send a message your way.

i wanted to play WoW also but i dont know if it would run for me, i have dial up and here are my system specs:

Windows: Windows XP5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1
Memory (RAM): 248 MB
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
CPU Speed: 2679.6 MHz
Sound card: Realtek AC97 Audio
Display Adapters: RADEON 9250 | RADEON 9250 Secondary | NetMeeting driver | RDPDD Chained DD
Network Adapters: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC - Packet Scheduler Miniport | WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface

will it lag way too much or is it possible to play normally?? please let me know

Its sort of irrelevant now that youre using the discs, but if you sign up for a free trial, you can download the entire game off the site and check if it works, (this is for macs too) in case anyone else wants to. It takes a really long time to download, but if you leave your computer on for a day itll get done. The free trial is great (I'd buy the game, but i live most of the year at a boarding school, and online games are blocked by the firewall, so i dont feel like paying 15$ for 5 days a month.) You get almost all the priveleges of a paying member, other than a few things for trading, and a cap at level 20.

This should let you know.

But from what I'm looking at on your system specs...it should run beautifully.

Dial-up, Mirai. Dial-up.

In any event, you should also upgrade to Service Pack 2. Running SP1, unless you really know what you're doing, isn't a good idea. SP2 is mostly love.

As for the WoW dillemma, are we talking Dell Mass Produced style of computer? Have you run any games on it before? It'd be worth it just to borrow your uncle's CDs and install and run the account on your computer just to see if it'll work.

Or you could just not worry about any of that bullshit and find out online.

No, I was sharing the keyboard with a morbidly obese feline.

How do you get onto a private server? I have WoW (I can't install it, I thought this crap comp would have better stats...you know what I mean) and I was thinking starring off as an Undead rogue or Blood Elf mage, depending whether or not I get Burning Crusade before I install it.

rxm_9600 · 01-12-2007, 05:13 AM

i googled and found way too many private servers...any suggestions?

dnacnud · 01-16-2007, 02:35 PM

Tydeus, glad you finally decided to do it.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. My emac has 256mb ram, 700mhz processor G4. On dial up.

It was tolerable, but only if I was on my own. I couldn't party very well.
