Maplestory 2, Aanyeong

An i5 and a 600 series. That sounds like over kill. Anyone know if they're using an in house engine or a third party engine?

I never put any faith into "Recommended Hardware" listings, especially for the highest settings. If I've learned anything playing with people online for the past 15ish years, it's that the weirdest hardware combinations can break or make performance, and the unexpected occurs so often it's mind boggling.

For example, I have a friend that has a laptop that's basically from the dark ages of computers, and yet it can play games like Borderlands 2 at nearly maximum settings but can't play games like Divinity: Original Sin at minimum settings.

At most, they're a general guide, but certainly not an end-all; be-all for if you'll be able to play.
