Yes you can play as much as you want..........you are noe tied down to
specific groups or times unless you want to be. But watch out it is know as
evercrack for a reason.

Yes it is very easy to fine other peeps to play with.

MY recomendation is to get the trilogy it gives you the three old world game
and expansions and also get the luclin expansion, it will save a lot of
headaces later on, all of the expansions are geared for all levels and style
of play, just the new one coming out in october will be gared for the higher
lvls.

The speed and cpu are fine but I highly recomend upgrading the memory to 512
mb or the highest you motherboard can hold, the graphics card and modem will
work till you upgrade.
