The title's system requirements are not unusual for this age in gaming, but the title is just not as optimized as it should be. Many players with systems above and beyond the requirements have problems maintaining a playable framerate.One aspect that Mythic should be chastised for is the mail system.  On top of that, windowed mode - an MMOG requirement - is even worse off.The game has an issue with being the inactive window, causing it to lag severely when it is not in focus. Both of these issues will likely be fixed in the near future, through a combination of video card driver updates and further optimization. The sad truth is having a botched windowed mode has severely effected my early gameplay experience.If you just launched an MMO and your biggest three problems are a horrid mailing system, gold spammers and lag, then you are in a pretty good spot. While the mailing system will take some time to fix, and is already being worked on via the hotfixes, it will be fixed.

The mail system in WAR is simply atrocious. The system that the title launched forced players to wait twenty seconds between in-game messages. The forced delay wouldn't have been so terrible if you were able to attach multiple items to a message. The inability to do so causes players to waste obtuse amounts of time sending items to guildmates or alts and is easily the most poorly implemented system in Warhammer Online.
