So many people I played with were able to enjoy the game because it would run on the $350 eMachines PC they got at Walmart. Accessibly really increased the draw of the game for regular consumers because you could get your friends into it easily.

I ran the game on a beat up dell laptop for several years, 40 man raids and everything. Had to run it on the lowest settings, but was able to get 30 FPS on it.

I remember I played so much that on the left side of the laptop where my palm rested all the paint had worn off of the laptop.
