1440x900 on my laptop. My desktop is 1680x1050. 1440x900 and higher seems to be the standard for most people I know, mostly higher.

The main reason I use a lower resolution is because I can't see anything!  1280x720 is the lowest supported 16:9 resolution on my monitor so I use that.  I even boost the text size a bunch from the default because even at 1280x720 the text is uncomfortable for my weak glasses eyes.  Yes, I could set the font even larger at a more normal resolution, but everything else would still be tiny like images and such.  Maybe I need a bigger monitor, it's 17 inches so I don't know though...

I use 1024x768, because that is what my six-year old monitor supports.

I don't think this old P4 can handle anything higher than 1280 by 1024. It used to be state of the art a few years ago.

It would be more positive if you say 'outdated person' I guess.

It's not as much as the fact that I'm outdated as the fact this computer screen feels huge in itself...

Don't worry about having a low resolution - a few years ago, I had to play Diablo II in 640*480 because my monitor couldn't handle 800*600 and it was still just as awesome.

The pixels bring back so many memories of wasting night after night as a assassin with my friend playing a barbarian when we finally finished the game XD

If they brought out a higher resolution pack, I probably wouldn't use it. It would feel like a different game to me.

You are not the only one.
Of course, the resizing artefacts are an unforgivable sin.

I feel outdated now. My last top had 600x800 max.
