I cannot find it on the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes site. Can someone please give me information on what it takes to run the game on low/med settings. Thanks in advance.
“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

Their minimum specs really are that. You could play VG with those specs, but it would have to be with all settings on low. Almost not worth playing that way.
Their recommended specs are good though. If you have their recommended specs or better, you'll be fine.
Current: None
Played: WoW, CoX, SWG, LotRO, EVE, AoC, VG, CO, Ryzom, DF, WAR
Tried: Lineage2, Dofus, EQ2, CoS, FE, UO, Wurm, Wakfu
Future: The Repopulation, ArcheAge, Black Desert, EQN
If you have to ask VG is probably not for you.
Technology has somewhat caught up to Vanguard. But unfortunately, VG works your computer like no other MMO. All the new games that have come out in the last two years, like AoC, War, etc., are not near as hard on your computer as VG.
In my opinion the recommended specs would more suit the Minimal Specs for running Vanguard:SoH.
Recommended Specs would be something along the lines:
• Windows® 2000/XP/Vista/7
• 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible computer
• 100% DirectX compatible keyboard or input device
• Intel core 2 duo OR AMDx2 processor
• 4 GB RAM
• Vertex and Pixel shader 2.0 compatible hardware with 512MB of texture memory
• DirectSound/OpenAL compatible audio hardware
• Broadband Internet Connection
• 16X Speed DVD-ROM
• 20 Gigabytes Hard Drive Space
This would run the game on balanced very well.
