Was speaking to a couple of hardcore WoW'ers today in work and they didn't even realise it was out next month, and they were also a bit put off by what they say is 'very high specs' needed to run it.
What do you think on that?
And yes Re: Guild.
The basic requirements are higher than WoW but not by much, here's the minimum:

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn鈥檛 listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
