Hi, I am planning on reinstalling guild wars and was wondering how much memory does it take up with all the updates and such that i have to download again, thanks

4.18 Gigs is my total GW folder size. How much more you'll need download to install will depend on your installation method.

im doing the "-image" and just getting everything at once

Well, the end result should be 4.18, so just compare folder sizes.

Actually about 3.17 is what most people will have currently, it depends of course.

My GW.dat have 3.8 GB and I did the -image a few weeks ago.

Lawliet Kira · Feb 08, 2012, 01:41 AM // 01:41

mine ended being just a little over 4gigs

3.86 gigs with -image here two weeks ago, so give it 6 if you want to err on the side of caution. With what people are saying that's plenty of room and then some.

3.16GB here (no -image though). Note that if you are trying to gauge how much bandwidth you will be using, it might be a little less than the actual number due to data compression.

I wonder at the gw.dat size differences here...
