Looks like I am going to be going with it over EQ2 purely because WoW has a huge fanbase. I wish I could get my new comp built by then. I am looking at maybe being able to play it mid-december.

EDIT: People who played the beta... how will this run WoW

Geforce 6800 Video card
AMD Sempron 3100+ (this is a socket754)
1gig of pc3700 ram
160gig samsung 7200RPM sata HD
ASUS K8n nforce3 250GB mobo
Thermaltake 420W true power supply.

Looking at the graphics, I think this should run well, with little or no lag depending on the network, what ya think beta guys?

[Rand Dusing]

I haven't played it but that should do very good.

[washe]

AMD Barton 2500
512 RAM
Radeon 9500@9700

A shoot from some days ago:

Next week they will have the open beta... so you can register and grab your copy.

I have the feeling the beta will be for 15 days after that they will get ready the server for the launch date.
