You never played WoW after BC came out and the servers just went down, no warning no nothing and were down for hours, which at one time turned into a couple of days. At least they put up a post about it here.

They did give more than 15 min warning. It was in the launcher and on the forums, they aren't obligated to tell you that the servers are coming down at all it's more for consideration they post up about downtime.

Actually this hit the nail right on the head

Personally, I would ditch the AMD processor and go with at least an i5, sure you'll pay more but it will last you a whole lot longer. When I built my Core2Duo in 2006 a couple of people I know built AMD machines, they upgraded twice in the 5 years I was still using my Core2Duo and played the same games, on the same settings that they had to upgrade to get. Can't go wrong with Intel.

With Windows 7 you are limited to the number of times you can change hardware and activating it without having to buy a new cdkey (supposedly).

Also, you would have to upgrade the memory if you change the motherboard, I have a total of 500 bucks with tax in MB, i5 2500k and 16gb of ram, I'm set for the next 4-5 years now with video card upgrades. Plus my board can go to the new Ivy Bridge CPU's when they come out this spring if I want to change it and have PCIx 3.0 for the new line of PCIx 3.0 cards.

I switched to windowed mode, still pegging 110 fps, had to toggle the button for it to work right in windowed mode as well. I posted something to SR's Twitter as well about it.

They said it could take up to 7 days after the subscription was billed to get the title.

Hope this will help some people out.

That's the way mine looks in game.

Posted this in customer service as well, since alot of people with heat/fps issues since 1.1 goes there but I'll put it in here as well Ok, I did a little testing this morning and it seems that the v-sync button is acting just like the Sith Corruption button was. It shows toggled, but it isn't. On my ship I was running at 110 fps and v-sync was showing ON. I clicked it off, hit apply, stayed at 110 fps. Clicked v-sync on, hit apply, and my FPS went down to 60 fps, GPU useage went down to 70% and temp went down 10*C. Might be worth looking at when you are in game. I also checked and this fixed the problem in the character select screen, 60 fps while sitting on it as well. I have put in a bug ticket in since there are no more bug forums.

This also runs fine with a 512mb 6350 card (albeit on low settings, still no video lag) and 5 other people I know running 6870's, and one running a 4870

What other hardware are you running? Memory brand/speed, MB brand, etc etc. There are 4 other machines that are identical to mine, minus the video card that are running the game flawlessly. Same memory, same MB, same processor just they are running the ATI 6870 video card, and 3 of them have the exact same case. All were re-formatted, OS loaded from scratch and then the game loaded up. All of the 6870 cards are getting 110fps with v-sync turned off, mine with the 5770 gets 70 with v-sync turned off, drops to 50-55 on the fleet (which it should). I too have been doing IT work for close to 20 years and most of the people in the guild usually go with my recommendations on parts etc to purchase which is why most don't have any issues with hardware, and if they do it turns out it's OS related, just like I said earlier about having an unstable OS. We have close to 45 people in our guild (yes it's a small one) and not one person has any issues with the game at all, no fps drop in wz's or questing. Specs are the following Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3 Ghz (not overclocked) ASRock Extreme 3 Gen 3 MB (with most updated bios) 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR 3 1600 XFX HD 5770 1gb Video card (non-oc) Seagate 1Tb 7200.12 SATA III 6Gb/s HD Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit My machine at work that runs it perfectly as well HP Elite 8200 CMT Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 Ghz HP Branded MB 16gb HP Branded memory HP Branded 6350 512mb Video card Hitachi 1Tb SATA III 6Gb/s HD Windows 7 Professional 64 bit I can also name 4 other machine that guys at work are using to play on during lunch and such at work with no problems (other tha choppy video from the onboard Intel video but pull 20-30 fps on low settings) that are all HP branded machines

I was running the game on an Intel Core2Duo 2.66 with 8gb of ram and an XFX 5770 card with no issues at all. I still say that the problems that people are having is due to having an unstable OS, I would bet to say if you took the machine, reformatted it and loaded Windows from scratch the machine would run just fine.

no problems here at all with the game, and I've installed it on three different PC's running completely different hardware.
