Ruins of Kunark System Requirements

[Rejuvenation]

Hope everyone is ready to splurge on those upgrades if you want to enjoy Kunark this Friday...

MINIMUM PC REQUIREMENTS
Minimum CPU Type: Pentium
Minimum CPU Speed: 200 MHz
Minimum RAM Required: 64 MB
Minimum Hard Disk Space: 600 MB
Graphics Type: SVGA
Graphics Resolution: Multiple Resolutions
Color Depth: 256 Colors


Ugh, the wallet is already complaining.

That's for the original UI & game plus Kunark. There was a huge gfx upgrade around Veilous which upped the requirements much more than what's above (transparent interface, etc.).

So Kunark on this server will be more demanding than what's above. However, it is fun for nostalgia sakes.

Thank you for this insightful information.

Tag made me laugh.

You're missing the point completely.

This was a joke, alluding to every single complaint that arises during an expansion where graphics are being upgraded. The hardware is so far beyond obsolete at this time that its hilarious to see what the minimums were back then.

Also, by your logic, everyone would have already had to meet the Titanium requirements, but considering the vast difference in hardware strain comparing the pre and post-luclin engines, the Titanium requirements are substantially beyond anything that will be needed on this server.

Just giggle at the fact that 10 years ago, people may have had to upgrade their computers to be able to enjoy what we will hopefully be able to this Friday.

I understand the joke

I remember when I was a kid and first getting into computer games, I had to save up money to upgrade from my 386 PC because it wouldn't run Doom 2 smoothly.

Every time you fired a weapon it would lag for 2-3 seconds while it loaded the animation and sound. Those were the days.

I didn't have my first computer until like 1999 hehe. It had a 500mhz Pentium 3 processor, and 128MBs of RAM in addition to some crappy onboard graphics card. I later upgraded the ram to 192 and the graphics card to a geforce II so that I could play with horse models for Luclin!

Rejuv, you continue to waste my life. :mad: :cool:

Looks like I'll have to pull out my Riva TNT card.

[Teeroyoyort]

Ugh when luclin came out, and the switch to directx 8 gfx engine... My lil K6 process had problems with zoning for 25min, lol.

Wait! Frogs can't talk!!!

Ohhhhhh, I get it...

[Kamasu-WV]

OP, hilarious.
To the two guys who ruined the joke: :(

[Vanech]

My laptop doesn't have the minimum specs to play ;| ... guess I gotta crack down an upgrade to a 'Droid.

I remember when Kunark came out, I arrived on the boat at the statue of FV and had to turn my clipping plane down to practically zero. I hated Kunark, it seemed like every leaf on every tree was animated and the game was unplayable on my stone age equipment.

Until I realised I could just buy a new graphics card. Then I realised I didn't actually have to stare at the wall or the floor for every god/dragon fight to avoid disconnecting!

By the way, this is my first post I think - I joined a few days ago and I am absolutely loving reliving 1999! It took me 8 months to level my first character to 50 - I suspect I can beat that this time around.
