I'd have dropped $3000 for the rig, but there's no way in hell I'm "upgrading" to Windows 8.

Let's just hope the 3.4TB of HDD space needed means that they've included every single Mech known to mankind......with... BITMAPS... for skin textures, it would seem. :ph34r:

Judging from the reqs, I assume you finally gave up on the whole 'graphical interface' crap and are just making this a text based MUD?
