quote Wodenia2

Just a couple of details the other posters didn't mention.

WoW is totally self-contained. It makes next to no use of the guts of Windows. For that reason, it's a lot gentler on system resources than many other Windows applications. It also has five different graphics quality settings, so if you find your game isn't running the way you want it to, you can reduce the graphics quality and sacrifice a bit of visual appeal for a faster-running game. If you're questing, you can do just fine on a seven-year-old computer. If you're doing player-versus-player combat, running dungeons, or frequenting crowded areas such as the Trade District of Stormwind or Goldshire in Elwynn Forest on busy servers, you could need a somewhat faster machine. But the downside is that, because the WoW folder pretty much does everything Windows does independently from Windows, it's a 20-gig download, so without a decent internet connection the download could take a very long time.

The other thing is that the basic package costs $19.99 to register and includes the original WoW ("vanilla") as well as the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King expansions, which means it now takes you up to level 80 and unlocks pretty much everything other than Worgen, Goblin and Pandaren characters. To get Worgen and Goblin, you have to buy the Cataclysm expansion, which takes you from level 81 to level 85, and to get Pandaren, you have to buy the latest expansion, Mists of Pandaria, which takes you from level 86 to level 90. I don't want the forum moderators to get upset with me, but I have to be frank in expressing my opinion here. The Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria expansions combined cost $39.99, which is twice as much as the basic package, so you're paying twice as much for the top 10 levels as you are paying for the first 80 levels. That seems to me to be a very bad deal. Most WoW players disagree because they concentrate on level 90 play and deprecate everything from level 1 to level 89, but as someone who's brand new to the game, you'd be best advised to start with a trial account, see how like it, and then try the basic package for twenty bucks before you decide to blow another forty on the top 10 levels. It'll take you a while to get your character to level 80 anyway, and then you might end up wanting to experiment with other characters that are different, so you could be looking for as much as 12 months of steady play before you have to worry about level 81.

Hope this helps.
