Q: Is it possible to save DAOC onto a 5 GB thumb drive and be able to run the program?

A: It would be kind of cool to be able to haul your MMO around in your pocket, so I asked.

Our Wookie Techie responded: (It should work in both XP and Vista. File access will be beyond dog slow as even with USB2.0 the "disk access time" of a thumb drive is pitiful. So anything that required a lot of disk access for loading (like zoning, etc) would take a lot longer then normal.)

And Redbeard, our coder with the. red beard, told me: (Any files the client creates will be on the main hard drive of the computer you're using, so you won't be able to just take the thumbdrive with you and have all your settings move with you too.)

But it would, technically, be possible even though I suspect (a lot longer) translates to (pure horror.)

The mind, it reels.
