Anyone get that "we're all laughing at you" feeling whenever a preview is released or when a beta tester goes on gushing about the game?
It makes me sick to my stomach, plz release this Blizzard. For my sanity!

Imagine Diablo II ... only with 500 hours of content per character.
DIFFERENT content per character.

Can you window this game, or at least alt-tab? A lot of the MMOs I've played don't allow it and I completely stop playing the games because of this. I can't have a game window up very long without alt-tabbing. I multitask a lot.

You can window it, and I alt-tab out all the time and have never had any problems. I can't imagine playing a game that didn't allow switching out for a few seconds here and there ... to check the FAQ and map sites, if nothing else.
Although you can alt+tab out of it, I think it should be mentioned that on my PC it takes a long, LONG time for my desktop to load back up. It's partly because I'm running the game at a different res than I run my PC.
Point is, unless you have an uber PC or the code is going to be further optomized (which is entirely likely), alt+tabbing frequently isn't really that feasible.

That might be more due to the resolution than the PC speed. I have an Athlon 1.8 w/ GeForce Ti4200, and it only takes about 3-5 seconds to tab out.

I've got an Athlon XP 2700, 1 gig of pc2700 ram and a geforce 4 ti4200. by no means an uber PC and I can alt-tab out of WOW with no delay. ram makes a huge difference, when I had only 512 it'd take forever to alt-tab.
Also if you just want to play it in windowed, it's like Warcraft 3 - just go to the properties for the shortcut and put -windowed behind it and it'll run in a window.
I can very very rarely get this game at 60fps, and I usually get 30fps... at 60fps the game is unbelievably beautiful, it animates so smoothly my jaw drops a little, and I've been playing it since the start of beta.

Yeah, I have a gig of RAM.
WoW scales very, very well ... almost any machine can run it. But before the final, I'll definitely upgrade to one that can run it WELL.
