    How much space will Cataclysm take?

    Hey guys and girls, as the title of the thread says, im nervous about the amount of space Cataclysm will take up. My computer at the moment, after the new updates, had 6.5gigs of space left. I'm sure others will also be curious.

    The beta is currently 21.5 Giga , I guess live will add 5 giga to that minimum

    Ah, but I heard the beta was vanilla, BC, Wotlk and Cataclysm all rolled into one?
    Or were those people bullshitting me?

    I'm going to guess 6gb.
    Article 37 : A Bro is under no obligation to open a door for anyone. If a women insist on having their own professional basketball league, then they can open their own doors. Honestly, they're not that heavy.
    Article 49 : When asked,"Do you need some help?" a Bro shall automatically respond, "i got it," whether or not he's actually got it.

    well i imagine all the old world stuff will be overwritten. My folder is currently ~20 GB, i can't imagine more than a couple GB will be added.

    25ish GB including both old and new world data. It's unknown wether old world data can be deleted or not, after the cataclysm.

    Looks like you are going to have to delete some of your enormous porn collection, get a computer that wasn't made in the 90s or drop $30 on a external hard drive which has 5x more memory than your entire computer.

    Right now it is tough to say how much room it is going to take up. Assuming all of the new old world content completely overwrites the data currently on your computer you will still be looking at a fair bit of storage gain from new content alone. Short answer, you are likely completely boned.

    I'd uncross them and hope for less. 500mb free will not make using your PC a pleasant experience - page files and stuff...
