    Yeah, I don't think this game will be running on my Athlon 1Ghz Thunderbird. Maybe next time.

    I'm a big fan of WoW and at first whining like a little girl comparing it to my beloved game. But I admit, this game has really grown on me. The graphics are frickin' fabulous, the quests fun, and it's potential endless. I'm working my way through the burning crusade but I think I'll be making the switch when it releases.

    It's like WoW but with mature people, and a good story. And at $10 a month a lot of people might just lean towards this instead of WoW.

    Im playing with a 8800GTX and it runs aw-some. This game is one of the best ive played. I started a hobbit. Their starting area is the most polished of them all. I think this game will give wow a run for the money.
