MMORPG to play on a netbook?

AlysenMinase

Me and a friend are looking for an MMORPG to play together, but the only computer they have is a Netbook. Anyone know a decent MMORPG to play on one? It can be browser based, but it has to have low requirements. I was looking for a game like a traditional MMO, like EQ, not like MapleStory.

i would give runescape a shot.  any browser based mmo should work.

Check out Zentia as well. It has very reasonable requirements and should run on a  netbook.
