Guild Wars 2

I noticed that the RAM requirement for the mac is 2 more gigs than pc. Is that going go down in the future?

It’s because of the overhead of OS X. I have 8 GB RAM and with the game taking up 1.2-1.7 GB I have only ~3.1 GB left of that. Which means that I am using more than 4 GB RAM (4.9 GB)

The Cider wrapper likely needs extra resources too. If I recall correctly it provides a few system librarys that are missing in OSX but are included in Windows.

running OSX with less than 8 gigs isn’t optimal anyway, do as I do and hunt around, you can easily up your ram to 8 on most mac laptops for as little as 60$

Agreed, 8GB or more. I went with 16GB.

The current Transgaming Cider wrapper has an enormous memory leak problem. This happened with the City of Heroes port as well.
