Although I have like a 250 GB Hardrive, I am slightly worrired about how big GW is (about 2.7 GB for me). As more and more expansions come out, this file size will only get bigger and bigger. I know, this is probably inevitable, but it would be nice, if Anet could maybe do something about this. I know it is not a whol lot already - but GW has the potential to become a huge file that could potentially fill up someone's hardrive without them knowing (with all the streaming and all)
Anyways, I have been thinking about getting a seperate "Guild Wars HD"... I don't know... just a thought.
GW Is Taking Over My Comp?

I thought about that but, by the time GW gets really huge, it will be time for a new hard drive anyway.

You mean, that your GW folder is 2.7 GB with screens taken in game.
You should save those pictures in .jpg format and you will get a lot of space.
My gw.dat is 1.8 GB and the 747 pics in jpg is just 146 MB.

2.7GB out of a 250GB drive is 1%
Sounds like you have something else clogging up your drive
EDIT: Corrected my horrible math skills, I pwned myself there
Gimme a break, long day at work!

with modern hard drives, this is pretty much a non-issue. i'd rather have a large file with updates downloaded the way they are now than insert cd's all the time and have huge patches. streamed is the way to go.

Pffffft, you guys lack dedication. I bought my computer EXCLUSIVELY for Guild Wars specification. There's no other softwares on this baby, only Guild Wars, and it has another 200 gb for future expansions.. bring it on baby
