Hey, so I'm looking for a game to play whenever I'm bored of pwning nabs on sro.
My question is, how does sro and wow compare, as far as the demand in puts on your computer/internet? Like, my internet isn't the best, but I can play SRO just fine, will I be able to play wow?

GTFO.

SRO is more demanding than WoW. Well on my computer it was at least.
Lempi sounds angry. WoW is just a game remember.. not a way of life (well for you maybe).

Look simple answers dont sway many people in short its vastly better in a number of aspects which sro will never live up to but il try my best to explain why and compare to sro.
First off pvp, in wow we dont have a triangle job system we do have jobs so to speak but they are used to enhance your toon. The pvp is mainly based between two factions and 10 races each with a selection of a further 10 class's and each class has 3 skill trees, ranging from healer to tank. The pvp needs team works there is no 1v1 pvp in wow (although it is possible with certain classes in the right spec). The biggest diffence is that toe to toe pvp rarly get you anywhere you will be out classed quite simply, pvp does require a certain amount of thinking although yes in sro pvp could be chanllenging if facing the right person but the imbalance between classes makes this less likly ie a wizard or tank would take or deal silly damage while other classes really cant stand up to them in wow balance is a continious thing it changes most patchs. The big pvp battles are horde vs alliance in either 2v2/3v3/5v5, battle grounds or world pvp zones.
Back to the jobs in wow you can have 2 main jobs and all the secondary jobs each job brings something to the table whether its a buff, gear or special items that help you round your toon, some of the jobs or useful in making gold which ofc is important for just getting along.
Next biggest thing which sro dont really have is raids and dungeons these are pve based and require team work you need a tank and healer for it to work and usually good dps its best compared with euro leveling partys as you need the right mix of people to make it work but unlike sro where your just grinding all day your actually working towards a realistic goal.
Items in wow are even better unlike having sos/som/suns been very rare and only held by the rich items in wow are earned you either get them via a job, pvp reward or raid/dungeon this means the skilled get the best gear not the rich.
Final and most important thing is leveling, in you can be cap in 2/3 weeks with the same dedication of 4hours grinding you used to put into sro and have time to spare also while leveling there is more to do you have classic raids for 60/70/80 and lots of dungeons to enter at each stage of your leveling so its not boring you can make it fast or take it easy with the recent expansion all the zones look quite nice and are deffo worth looking around, if you get a friend to join you, you can level a lot faster too.
i could go into more detail but overall i just feel its better experiance silly things like customer service actually exist bots get banned and if your hacked you can get your account restored

People from internet cafe's don't play WoW. 12 year old who can't speak English don't play WoW. There is no one swearing and or praising their "god(s)" in WoW.
People are actual human beings in WoW.

I was referring to the post directly above mine, which has no reference to bots really except perhaps the human beings part of it. I realize that there's far fewer bots in WoW. <_<

just start from the... well start get the first 3 im saying this as they usually come in a bundle well the first 2 do anyways usually works out cheaper that way after that if you like it get cataclysm, unless you really badly want to start off as a gobin or wogan then just get them all at the same time

aren't you like level 95 on sro? OT: If you haven't done the 10-day trial of WoW definitely do it before making any decisions. And also if you are interested, you could do a recruit-a-friend program with someone on here and receive lots of benefits as well as helping out whoever you do it with a lot.

You can download the full client including all previous expansions just through the Cataclysm disc. I do believe that will you still have to get the retail keys to upgrade your account in order though. So yeah maybe just buying the bundle would be the best idea. Hopefully this helped out a little!
