World of Warcraft & Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME
Does anyone know if a demo for World of Warcraft exists? I tried searching but all I was able to find were trailers. I guess I am just curious because I wanted to see how well it ran on my laptop. I'm thinking of buying a Vaio w/a decent GPU sometime next year. The laptop I have now is a Dell 700m w/1.8GHz and Intel Extreeme Graphics 2M GPU (82852/82855).

I really doubt it. Most MMORPGs tend not to have evaluation copies.
But from experience, I'd say it would probably run on your setup, but really terribly. Also from experience, I'd tell you to get Guild Wars if you want to avoid the monthly fees. A lot friendlier on the pocket.

lol yea probably. But it seems to all depend though. I tried the Dungeon Siege 2 demo, and it works okay or well depending on how you want to look at it. At the highest graphics settings and resolution at 1024 x 768, it runs roughly at 12 FPS. That sounds real low...but gameplay was real smooth (except for one cut scene animation which was choppy). With the Intel GPU, it seems like there's still a chance out there w/some games...but not others (I.E.: Scrapland).
