How much disk space will all 4 GW products need in total?

Etta · Aug 22, 2007, 11:05 AM // 11:05

Well my dat file is 3gb and a bit right now. So I'm guessing somewhere between 3.9- 4.9gb.

The complete dat file currently is at approximately 3.5 GB. That very likely already includes a lot of content from EotN, which has been pre-streamed with an update a couple of weeks ago. I do not expect the file to grow very much with EotN going live. Another couple of hundred MB at best, I'd expect the total size to stay well below 4 GB.

They only need to add new skills <1mb, new textures&graphics <100mb, new quests/scripts/weapons/animations <10 mb. So the magic number is 111 mb

I'd keep up to 5gb free for the .dat file. We don't know what will still be happening in the future, and better safe than sorry.
