I have the same problem, Braodband connection, 64meg video card and 1 gig memory on my laptop, and a 128meg video card with 512 ram on my desktop.
The game is basically unplayable for me on both of my machines, and this is even with all graphics an display settings set to there minimum (which I should not have to do given my machine's hardware).
I have waited a over Year for this release, and now I can't play. Load screens take over a minute to load, running and sailing are next to impossible, and battles forget about it.
I know this has only gone live this week and that there will be hiccups along the way but I am very frustrated at this point.
I have even tried to log in in the middile of the night (less people online all oceans quite) and it makes no difference.
Don't get me wrong I love the game and think that it will be a game for the ages, but I have been itching to play for so long I was hoping for more.
Sorry for the rant I am just very frustrated.
