Requirements

1. Renaissance Quest currently only runs on Windows! Any recent version of Windows
should work, including 7-8-10-11. Older versions may work, too.

2. Renaissance Quest is designed to run on very lightweight machines, and with
very little memory. Pull that 'obsolete' computer out of the closet and give it a try!

3. You will NEED an active Internet Connection. The Game will NOT play stand alone.
If you have a tight firewall, you might need to give RQ permission to communicate
through it. How to do that is beyond the scope of these instructions.

4. Renaissance Quest can be very simple to play, or you can get very deep into
its many features. There is a Game Manual accessible from within the Game, and lots
of help and advice posted by other players. Don't give up too quickly!


We also make an ISO available for download, for players who are unfamiliar with
un-zipping files. You can write a CD or DVD which will auto-play on most systems,
and which you can easily carry with you to friends houses. Note that playing from
a physical CD or DVD, the game will not perform as well, and may take a few seconds
to start up. If you download this ISO, you can use late versions of Windows to
MOUNT it, and it will become a Virtual CD or DVD. Download the ISO here:

We sincerely hope you will enjoy playing RQ. Since we started writing this software
in July of 2004, we have hosted thousands of players, who spent many wonderful
hours going on Quests, operating shops and farms, owning and decorating houses and
castles, and socializing with other players.
