Re: A Free2Play WoW Clone and it's pretty darn fun - Runes of Magic
Frustration sets in.
2 hours to download...no problem I expected that.
Start loading up the game, and call it a night at 12:30.
The next morning I am stoked to give it a go, and I get an error.
YOUR GPU DOES NOT MEET MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.
I'm no computer guy, so now I need help.
I have NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 and it says I need DirectX 9.0c compatible with 128MB RAM.
Any suggestions on what to get and how easy it is to install?
If a new card isn't much, I'll likely get one.
If it too much, cest la vie, a different game for me.
Thanks.

It seems it isn't just my GPU, it seems my PC(which is old) just doesn't have what it takes.
Onto something else.

Until I get a new PC(hopefully sooner rather than later) I seem to be hooked on Castle Age on FACEBOOK.
Oddly fun, for a point and click numbers based affair.

Re: A Free2Play WoW Clone and it's pretty darn fun - Runes of Magic
eh, bummer... oh well, glad you tried!
The requirements are less than some other games but still pretty high.
I've heard some speculation that the data they are collecting now every time we log on is to see what the effect would be on their player base if they increased the requirements. Idk if that's true or not, but it sounds plausible to me.

Re: A Free2Play WoW Clone and it's pretty darn fun - Runes of Magic
Hey all!
I am downloading this game right now... It should run on my puter... now anyways, fixed and upgraded.
However, this will be my humpteen attempt at trying to play these PC based online games! Most of the time the interfaces are just too hard, or, the screens are just too dark for me to see! BTW, I bought me a new flat screen monitor hoping I could tweak the settings to lighten up the screens, moreso than the old analog type monitors, no such luck!
Oh well I am DLing now... we'll see. Oh and the best part.. it's free..
I am currently (TRYING TO PLAY) SoD, a free EQPC2 Game! But, I am about to give it up... interface sucks and the screens are always to friggin dark.
Check back in later...

I got the Runes DL, installed, and created my first toon. The screens sofar looks very bright! I like it! I have not learned much of the game yet. Just did the startup thingy. Will try to learn more after this weekend.
