em, its cool for the first bit, the quests are absolutely the most repetitive crap ever. Kill x of these, go get here and get this, kill so and so. The world however is enormous and the player interactoins are really what make the game in the end. This has all been my experience at least. It's a decent way to kill time.

All MMORPGs should be emergency scheduled controlled substances...

I saw the system specs but worried my pc won't handle it because the system specs are usually never right to beable to play a game smoothly and don't think there a demo out there to try it out to make sure. Do you think my pc will handle it or no ? Its not that powerful but its ok.
Athlon XP 1800+
abit kt7a raid
256mb of sdram (I know I know very old, slow and outdated for sure)
7200 rpm WD and Maxtor hard drives
Leadtek Geforce 4 ti 4400 (I know I know very old, slow, and outdated for sure)
Santa Cruz sound card

I ran WoW just fine on a much slower computer. 1.2Ghz Athlon, Radeon 7200, 256 sdram, etc. It'll run perfectly fine on your comp (though it could really use some more ram... WoW is a memory whore). Though I do suggest not joining a high pop. server or else you'll be screwed.
Ok so that would mean I need to make sure all programs, and nonneeded things running in the background turned totally off before playing WOW because with just 256 mb of sdram is cutting it at the bare minimum. Maybe even a restart of the pc to make sure as much ram is free as possible.
What kind of system would a high popular server require and why would I be messed up if I did with this pc?

imo, the questing is wayyy better than any other mmo ive played. yeah, some of them are kill x number of monsters or whatever, but some of them are long chains that have some substance to them and have nice rewards. but in the end, i play the game for pvp. and it severely lacks in that department. just waiting for vanguard

Very true, I was able to break from the trance, but now I have been playing lots of Dungeon Siege 2. I try to stay away from MMOGs now, though.
Just curious if there is certain quality settings and such you can change for WOW or is it by default for everyone a certain settings and can not be changed?
If it can be changed what did you have all of your video and sound settings on and what resolution were you playing WOW with this kind of less powerful pc please? Thanks.
Also how populated were the servers you were playing on with this less powerful and what was the maximum limit the less powerful pc could handle?
Trust me. If you play on a low population sever, not run any background programs, and adjsut your in game settings you should be able to run WoW fine w/o much chopiness. I don't remember my exact settings, because I quit a long time ago. But you see my computer specs there and they are worse than yours.
As far as high population servers, you'll need a pretty damn good comp. Theres so many damn people that whenever you visit towns, do raids or what not that I bet that you'll have a frozen screen loading indefinitely.

Ther are many servers to play. I think there are over 100. Each has a different population. Here is the official listing. There are also sites which track server activity and population in numbers.
Ok so I would only beable to play on Population servers of Low and Medium.
Would WOW freeze up any or load really slow frame by frame when like a huge amount of people start fighting, running, etc ? I know it says Population low or medium but thats not numbers of people if you have a huge action scene take place with all these people or whatever who knows what could happen with the pc. Even high end pcs.

if you want a really good idea of how the game will run on your system, find someoe who owns the game and get the 10 day trial from them.
