Post by: DSLi0n on October 31, 2003, 06:54:44 PM

My computer is :

Celeron 433
128MB
intel 440LX mainboard
built onboard Ati 3D Rage Pro 4MB SGRAM
built onboard Crystal Soundfusion
3.2 Gig Harddrive

ADSL: 614Kbps upload | 5856Kbps download
     

Right now I am using Linux,will install windows2000 Professional to play this game.

Question:

Can i play this game smoothly ?

1.I'm connected from China.Where are your servers located ?Or any mirror is located in China ?what is the ping value i should get according to my connection status ?

2.I don't find any Copy in the stores that i can buy it which contains a valid CDKEY for this game around where i live. :( How to solve this problem? I want to play the unlimited mode .

Thank You. Good day.

Sorry but i dont think you have enough video to play this game.

32mb video cards is the mininum .. and they just barely work ...  

This game doesnt need a cd key or anything like that .. its a two week free trial , with  free h2h rooms after that or 15 dollars us per month to keep playing the main arena after that .

LX chipset? ATI Rage Pro?

You will have very low frame rates. Your will feel pain and frustration. If you can get a modern system you will like the game much, much better.

good luck :)

Like someone said, there is a two week free trial.  You can download the game and give it a shot.  The absolute worse thing that can happen is it won't work for you.  

At that point, you can either upgrade your system or wait until you buy a new computer.

I played on a pent 2 with the 810 onboard graphics ... the frame rates got to bad to play the game just after version 1.08

were on version 1.114 now

If you do get that machine to play it the low frame rates will drive you crazy ... (along with making you into an easy kill )

At least you might have an idea what it looks like by playing the game offline.  You will never be able to play it online with that hardware.  It is a massively multiplayer online game requiring better hardware but your connection speed should work ok.

What part of China?

The server is in St Louis, MO and there are no mirrors. With ADSL you should expect pings in the 300-500 range from China. It is entirely dependent on your ISP and the routing though. It will probably provide acceptable gameplay but you will need to account for lag. Your machine specs are well below par as others have said. I wouldnt be optimistic, sorry.
