I thought I heard that Blizzard may bump up the system requirements when Wrath of the Lich King came out because they're upgrading the graphics engine. Can anyone validate this rumor for me?

if they do then im screwed. :( my computer is already behind the system requirements.

As far as I know you can turn off those new enhancements if you don't meet the "new" requirements.

Expect the minimum requirements to be exactly the same, but with more sparkly bits for people that want them. You'll be fine, no problem.

I guess this will be an option, and not requiered, the recom might be put a little higher, but for lowest, I guess it will stay the same.

All I want is a further view distance.
