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. 

Asheron's Call?

Ultima Online

i find that wizard101 is an awesome game to play on a note book.. a little slow at first but awesome none the less :)

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.

EVE online works.

Ryzom I think I heard it did.

I know that Eve works bc I used to 2box and run one of the clients on my netbook.

games currently installed and played (and runs well) on my netbook (msi wind):

1. lotro

2. guildwars

3. linkrealms

3d games tried but uninstalled from my netbook (also runs well but i cant play them all):

1. perfect world

2. zentia

3. unchartered waters online

games i know will run well on any netbook:

1. those 2d games like maplestory etc.

2. those isometric view 2.5d games like trickster etc.

3. those older games like ragnarok1 etc.

4. those browser games like runescape etc.

non mmo game installed (and running well) in my netbook:

1. grand theft auto san andreas

2. diablo 2

3. torch light

Thanks for the replies. Since this will be there first MMO, I told them about GW since its a one time fee.
