RIP WoW

[binidj]

So World of Warcraft has finally exceeded the capacity of my PC to run. It was going to happen sooner or later, it just happened sooner is all.

Now I need to remember what it was I did before I played MMORPGs ... if I can remember that far back!

Time to cancel my subscription and the pre-ordered Wrath of the Lich King I think.

Really?
I wasn't aware there were any major graphical changes in patch 3
You tried uninstalling any addons and deleting your Interface and WTF folders?
Just to check it's not the patch screwing with them and upping your memory usage?

Nope, it's just the memory requirements for WoW as a whole ... it won't fit on my hard drive any more. Of course I could get a(nother) new hard drive but that would only be postponing the inevitable. From what I hear, it is unlikely that I'll be able to play in the WotLK zones ... I already have massive problems visiting Shattrath and (to a slightly lesser extent) Stormwind. Raids are fine as long as I don't have to move during the combat.

The simple fact is that in order to play I need a new PC, however for the other things I do (writing, web design, etc.) what I have at the moment is just fine ... so a new PC is fairly low on my list of priorities.
