MMORPG for Low-spec machines

TomShredsTomShreds Member Posts: 72

Hi,

I have an old laptop which can barely run WoW 4.3 on all low settings.

I'd still like to enjoy some MMORPG action on it if possible. I'd like some 3d fantasy mmorpg.

Do you know any?

 

Thanks!

    What are the specs for your computer?  More to the point, what processor, what video card, and how much memory?

    Try Shiaya from Aeria Games.  I had it running well on Celeron 1.5, Windows 2000, 256 megs.

     

    Another is GuildWars (1).  Looks amazing, runs on a toaster-oven.

    Try Guild Wars and Dofus

    Wow runs on super low specs. I can play it on my crappy work computer fine.

    If WoW doesnt run, it's because your laptop doesnt have a 3d graphics card, which means you won't be able to play any 3d MMO well.

    Go for 2D then. 

    I review lots of indie games and MMORPGs

    There are a lot of older games you can play, many of which are very good games still to this day!

    Anarchy Online is an amazing game and the original without the expansions content is 100% free to play.  It's my personal all-time favorite mmo :)  It's from 2001 so I would imagine it will run on your pc.

    You also may want to try Asheron's Call (another of my favorite classics).

    Everquest and Ultima Online are still around as well and if your pc can't run either of those then you seriously need a new computer lol.

    Heh I was just about to suggest Asheron's call -- now I can just second the motion for asheron's call...

    If you can barely run WoW then I suggest you just play some browser based games.

    does it have to be fantasy?

    if not - city of heroes

    Subspace, Redstone, original EQ

    Could always try out DAoC or EQ 1.

    I think DAoC has a free trial and EQ is going F2P i think. So wont cost anything to try em.

    Anarchy Online or Asherons call may be worth a look as well. I wouldnt get my hopes up tho if you cant run WoW on lowest settings.

    I'm assuming it would have to be a F2P game?

    All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.

    I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

    I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
