    Whenever I turn, it seems like the graphics card is really slow to render graphics. It gets very choppy until I've seen everything and then goes back to normal.

    Driver .71. I've tweaked alot of settings, but still getting the same problem. Please help.

    This isn't an nVidia issue, it's a Vista issue, it happens on every machine I've ever used or seen running Vista and WoW. Best I can tell there's no solution really, other than switching back to XP.

    i'll second that...i think its way overrated. i tried playing it and it is so bland, i ran 15min on a landscape and encountered like 4 creatures which took me a while to kill because you have to "charge" your spells. and its about 180 bucks a year...why anyone would do this is out of my mind.

    its not about the solo-play, what really draws most people in is the PvP and Raid qualities that make it loads of fun. Besides, no one says you have to pay the entire year.

    Why the heck does every thread about a game end in arguing over the qualities of it? The OP's looking for a bug fix, not for you to debate the merits of the game.

    Gee, and I can drop 4 at once with my mage(s) and keep on going but anyways. Fifteen minutes is hardly enough time to evaluate it. But he already plays and apparently likes it, so should'nt the focus be on getting him happy and playing again?

    Edit: Lithus beat me to it.
