Our expected minimum requirements are a 300 MHz Pentium-class processor with a Direct3D compliant graphics accelerator, 32 MB of RAM,
                     and 500 MB free hard drive space. Be aware that these specifications are expected to change.

     Will I need a 3D video card?

                     Yes. Any contemporary Direct3D compliant graphics accelerator should provide acceptable gameplay.

         Is the game played over the Internet?

            Yes. You will require an Internet connection to play.

What about costs?

Haven't decided the price, but there will be a cost. per month. per year mabye.

Will you support macs?

No. At the current rate of develpment, we have niether the time nor money to put in on mac, besides
that the game is made for windows.

Why isn’t there a Mac port planned?

                  Unfortunately, because of the cost and added complexity involved in developing and continuing to develop, upgrade and support multiple client
                     platforms, we are unable to commit to delivering the Middle-earth client on platforms other than Windows.

                     This decision is not based on any partisan opinion of the merits of a particular operating system, platform or company. It is simply a practical
                     necessity; creating Middle-earth for one platform is a Herculean task in itself. Cross-platform development of the constantly evolving client
                     software would complicate this task to the extent of jeopardizing our efforts.

                     Once Middle-earth has launched and the client is stable a port becomes more practical, particularly if a credible developer were to make an
    approach.

Will it require a joystick?

No. You will be using the keyboard as controls and for talking to other players.

If I have a slower computer then Pentium 300 MHz, will I still be bale to run ME?

Likely not, or it will run extremely/or/slightly slow.

What if I have a slow modem will my graphic quality go down?

No it won't. Slow modems don't cause bad graphic quality, however they
do tend to cause lagging, and slower game movement.

Will Middle-earth support 3DNow and Katmai technology?

                     Yes. It remains to be determined how much of a performance improvement these enhancements deliver.

I would like to thank the ME Staff for supporting us with knowledge of the game, most through the faq.
