Now my broadband is coming at long last (connected in the exchange now but the ISP is still in the process of mailing me the router - they ran out of the you beaut model I selected). I tried twice to play on dial-up but boot-up took about 10 mins and then taking about 3 or 4 steps took about 2 mins each. Would this be only a function of the dial-up, cos my system specs would be well in advance of minimum (512 MB Ram and 128 MB GE T1 4200)? Is there something else I should check for?
Definantly, the game runs perfectly on Dial-up, but games like this are always slow the first time around as they need to update, especially GW's as it uses a different way of updating to most MMOG's and will often download small/large files before entering an area.

If possible, play the game on a high speed connection for the first time to make sure you are all updated, but after that Dial-up should chug along fine
