I am pretty sure my graphics has been set to primary screen 1280x720, 
good and low for most things
  It was HD and settings were high or ultra, apart from a few of the 
things I can't see much difference for a high load anyway

Still no realms yet, so looks like they are using the full 10 hours.

 From the patch notes
'newly boosted characters start on the front line in Blasted lands'
though slightly realistic starting chars on the front with no talents 
set etc will have a high initial attrition rate

Guild levels gone, roll an unguilded alt if you don't have one, maybe 
make a packet for signs. I keep one free for signs, it just holds 
timeless gear ,christmas decorations and fireworks.
Although 4 signs is a lot easier to get anyway, 50 gold a sign , 300 g 
and you have it done. Assuming 50% just take the gold and laugh.
If they stay I usually give more gold and gear anyway to the honourable 
people :-)
