I'm currently stuck with a clunker laptop and won't be upgrading anything till much later this year. I'm looking for a good MMO to get into, but I'm really limited hardware-wise.
Can anyone recommend some NEW(ish) low system requirement games? I'm not looking for a shallow game though... nothing like Dungeon Runners. Graphics don't matter too much, but a decently mature community means everything.
Thanks
Games that play well on my system: UO, EQ1, Asheron's Call
Games that play so-so: WoW, DAoC, GW
Games that are right out: EQ2, Vanguard

anarchy (very good and free, now $5 with shadowland expansion)
maybe final fantasy XI, with low setting but its not going to be very nice
ragnarok online (dont know about the community though)
maple story lol?
Ultima Online. Nuff said
LotRo has also quite low system requirements.
But if your laptop is as bad as mine, even AO and UO will be a huge problem
If you get the old-engine version of EVE that should run OK. I can run it well enough on my shitty laptop, since the graphics consist of static spaceship models and a space backdrop and some laser effects.
Still waiting for your Holy Grail MMORPG? Interesting...
If you're only running WoW "so so" you aren't going to find much lower requirements.
there is a list on onrpg with free low spec games, try there you could find something that you like

i am currently playing WYD II (With Your Destiny) it has low system requirement and you can open multi client. It also have good graphics, free to play. Hope you'll try this game.. See you there
NexusTK is the best laptop game, it has great gameplay and pvp
All the browser games should be alright, but...the communities are often TERRIBLE.
And how is that any different than most MMOs? The communities in the majority of MMOs really suck too.

Yeah anymore that's right, but some of them are okay. If you have a bit of luck you could find some valuable people.
