"We don't have any answers at the moment," World of Warcraft community manager "Bashiok" stated in a post on the forum this week.
"We tend not to have updated system requirements/recommendations until most content is in, most big changes and engineering are done, and we're looking like there isn't going to be anything else that would greatly WOW WoTLK Classic Gold performance," Bashiok said.
