Mythic Entertainment has announced the minimum requirements to run Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning when it launches.

The wait is over!

We're pleased to announce the current minimum system requirements to run WAR at launch.

We will continue to optimize WAR as we move closer to launch and even beyond but these will provide you with a very accurate idea of what is needed in order to play the game.

So without further adieu the minimum specs for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning:

15GB?

 15 Gig's huh.....well I don't know about AOC but WoW is getting close to that. 

I just deleted AoC earlier this week, and that sucker was 25 gig. 15 is reletively trim for a top tier MMO these days.

This mean that installation will be 12-13G. Its absolutely normal for modern game.

Keep in mind I imagine the inactive framework for the other cities is in the build so 15 gig is reasonable.

My AoC folder:

25,2 GB (bytes: 27 106 377 728)

15GB sounds fair enough. Also requirements looks little lower than AoC. I hope that there is some decent optimization done and it will work well with plenty of peeps running around.

I am running at a 3.0 ghz with 2 Gbs of Ram.  I had problems with Tabula Rasa.  They should list the Recommended settings also.  That is what you want to go for.

15Gbs is no biggie these days.  You run out of room, get an external usb drive.  They are fairly inexpensive anymore.  I think we are moving into the best of the MMO fields for gaming over the next 2 years.

You want recommended specs? Well what are recommended specs recommending? The best specs to play the game? The specs to play the game decently welll?

The recommended specs for the best possible play will always be the best possible hardware out there. Quadcore, 9XXXX series card(ATI equivalent) SLI/Xfire, 4gigs+ DDR3 Ram, etc.

What would I have to run the game? Top end 7xxxx or mid/top 8xxxx card. 3 gigs of ram. 3.2ghz Dual core processor.

As you can see, recommended can mean different things to different people. If you aren't going to RvR a lot then what you need to run the game is different then somone that will be doing 500vs500 battles.

well, least I know my laptop wont fry from playing this game like it did for AoC lol
