is it for the complete World of Warcraft game (with all extensions) or only for the shadowland extension part ?

From what I can gather, it's only for the shadowland extension. But there's little info on your specific question so I am not 100% sure.

That would be for the whole game, with Shadowlands. The system requirements are always for the full game, so all previous expansions, plus the current. WoW is roughly 70gb ish now, iirc.


100GB is a massive SSD? I would hate to think what you would call my 1tb Intel 660p. Given how old the game is, and how many expansions there have been, 100gb requirement isn't exactly surprising.

Yes, 30gb ish for an extension makes more sense.

Blizzard has reclarified the SSD requirement.

The recommended reqirements are inflated, in my opinion, after playing the beta, on my laptop last night. My 9750h with a 1660ti, would be slower than a 6700k, with a GTX 1080.

my whole WoW directory is a total of 82 gigs, but that includes 250 megs for retail, 182 megs for classic, and 200 megs for SL beta, then the 81 gig data directory

I have Beta, Classic, PTR, and Retail, on my system. Not sure how much storage, that takes up, in total.
