Okay, I know this probably is not the place to post this, but I don't know where else [to post]. Okay, my question is right now I'm playing Guild Wars and getting bored of it. I have played COV before but had gotten rid of my computer but it was pretty fun. Right now I'm trying to decide on CoV or WoW and I don't know which to get. I would like to know if COV is still a fun game and if it still has alot of players. Is the lag is still bad? It was pretty bad when I had played it so if anyone can help me with this it would be really nice.

Its still fun. Depending on when was the last time you played, there's Mayhem Missions which are a kick. http://www.cityofvillains.com/feature_update_issue_7h.html

Lag is debatable. Players still seem decent to me though.

As far as lag goes, were you playing during beta, shortly after release? Lag was horrible during that time, it's gotten tons better. Although I would still get lag on busy nights in heavily populated zones. It's all up to how many people are playing at any given moment. Having a computer that can handle it also wouldn't hurt.

[proculus5]

well i play guildwasr and i hardly ever get lag only when i first log in so if my computer runs good on that game do you think it will do good on cov

I would say yes, if your computer can handle any new-age game nowadays it should be good to go. :)

You're good on everything except the HDD space. You'll need at least 4 GB free space. As long as you have that you look to be golden.

[proculus5]

hmm can you tell me where to look to see if i have the 4 gbs

[Blackbat]

Double click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop.

Go to "View" in the menu bar, click on "Details".

There will be column labeled "Free Space". Check that number on whichever drive you'll be installing the game on.

[proculus5]

[proculus5]

oh dang i got mixed up with my thread lol

[proculus5]
