Most epic MMO out there?!

... im trying to tell u that wow runs on LOW tech specs...

[Blizzard]

And I'm trying to tell you that WoW without graphics can run on much lower specs. Graphics are the major drawback here.

[Sally]

there graphics arny actually that gereat there textures on most maps are choppy and not smooth, like in silvermoon they put very small ammount of time in it.. let me see if i can get a screenshot

[Blizzard]

And so we come to my second point that graphics that are smartly implemented don't need such high specs. WoW could have probably looked nicer with the same hardware requirements.

[Sally]

yeah but blizzard is lazy... but they make good games, its taking them sooooo long to make starcraft 2...

[Blizzard]

Yeah, I agree. :/ As I said, purely commercial games, made for making money. :/

[Sally]

yeah even thou blizzard can host there server without it.

[fugibo]

We're still talking about WoW.

And without all that money, they couldn't maintain those servers. 100+ of those all running perfectly with thousands of clients 24/7 is a really hard thing to keep going. They also wouldn't be able to add as much content, have the same level of customer support, and take as many lawsuits.

[tSwitch]

the GMs also wouldn't do their jobs.
they wouldn't sit there and monitor and go through hundreds of support tickets for free.
