What are the game's system requirements and minimum specs?

Let's just say "High".

That was a lot more entertaining than I was expecting. It did get laggy/choppy in public areas for me, but otherwise played pretty well on a 2-year-old laptop. I got my butt whipped by some heavily armored skeleton dude in a crypt though.

Were you playing solo? Depending on your class, that's probably the toughest Goodblade quest to solo.

That's my only major complaint was having to group. When I could find one it was great, but one night I couldn't find ANYONE.
Well, my trial is over, it was fun, but not fun enough for me to fork over $50 for the client and then a montly fee on top of it.

My cleric did pretty good with it. I'd be sad if he couldnt though.

Oddly, my 750 mhz old (and badly in need of an upgrade) desktop can play it. But I need to turn the graphic details to the lowest setting and the load lag is HORRIBLE. But the game's still playable.

I'm on Argonnessen server (Fantasia, Brd5/Sor1; Dallii, Rog4; and Sayamen, Clr4).

Clerics (depending on your build) and the warrior types have it the easiest in the early quests, at least if you want to solo.

I guess everyone's has their own definition of "playable". I have 2 comps - one is top of the line: AMD Opteron, 2GB of RAM, GeForce 7900, etc. It flies and I have everything on max. It looks gorgeous. My second comp is a few years old: AMD Athlon 1.5 Ghz, 512 RAM, GeForce 5900, and while it's definitely "playable", I'm not sure I would pay to play DDO on that machine.

It's not running great on my laptop -- loading times are very long and there's lots of lag in public areas, even with graphics on the lowest setting. I joined a group and they were halfway done with the quests before I could even start moving. I did manage to catch up with them and the last half of each quest was fun. If my computer were up to speed I would be having a ton of fun with this game, but as it is I think I'm going to keep hobbling along with my slow speed for another five days and then call it quits after my time is up.

I built a new computer just to play DDO (among other things). The req's are pretty steep but that's seems to be the standard in PC gaming these days.
