farmville and other facebook games cant really be called an MMO... but thx for suggesting

 But didn't you say those activities were relaxing?  So why does it matter if it's not what you call and mmo?

cause i also like to chat with some random stranger (sometimes) ^_^ call me weird LOL

thx for the suggestions ^_^

as for wizard101 - ive tried it but somehow didnt really like it that much

as for final fantasy - havent tried the game but played the playstation games so maybe i was burned out already with them

as for lotro - its one of the games i play atm, and i always fish in the shire to relax... so unless turbine implements golf already, ill go look for something else XD

Try Darkfall, very relaxing, you can even build your own fishing boat :)

No safe zones. Full loot. PvP everywhere with accountability.  <-- does'nt sound very relaxing to me :)

thx for the suggestion.

LOLOLOLOL.

Well...If you want, theres EVE.  Instead of fishing, you can go out shooting rocks (mining)

You can just hang around jita bumping into other ships, heck if you want you can just be a frigate and spend 4 entire days flying to a stargate instead of warping! :O

hmm nice one but im not really into sci-fi that much... fantasy and/or real life is more my thing.

thx for the suggestion :)

runescape is nice too but the graphics (just like H&H) is not very immersive.

Mabinogi, sort of...

 

Haven and Hearth, become a farmer or woodcutter, or something. Offer your services to a guild with a town. Tons of people are looking for looking for others who will do the farming or cooking or town upkeep. 

i love mabinogi but i cant play it now because im not from europe or north america... and i cant understand japanese or chinese too.

im looking for something relaxing... like i just login... go fishing or tend to plants and animals... something like harvest moon but an MMO... anything like this out right now?

tia.

what are the specs of your netbook?

guildwars and lotro runs on my netbook with decent frame rates (lowest graphic settings)

gta san andreas also runs smoothly

i have a msi wind u100 with intel atom n270 1.6ghz, 2gb ram

i think  LOTRO best suits your criterias

yep Perfect World Online has the most customizable character appearance ever.

with a little practice, you can make your toon to look exactly like you. or you may choose to pattern your toon on a celebrity etc

here are some samples of my characters in the game:

1. michael jackson

2. jay leno

i admire the author for acknowledging that he made some mistakes. lotro can be played completely free if you just grind the turbine points by doing deeds, and there are lotro fansites out there that can somehow guide freeps on how to get these TP's efficiently.

anyone wanna buy my account? LOL juzkiddin

i guess im one of the lucky few who were granted early access in the game.

a lot has changed since then.

LOL @ the thread title.

one thing i like about lotro is that its a relaxing game. you are not pressured to reach the level cap as fast as you can. you can login, go walk around the shire just to enjoy the scenery and then logout. even the bgm is relaxing.

for me, its the spa of mmo's XD.

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

been trying it for 2 days now.

likes:

- low system requirements

- graphics

- i can choose a fat character/toon ^_^

dislikes:

- not many players atm

- clicking on doors to enter/exit needs double clicks

- controlling/steering your ship is kinda hard

so far thats it after 2 days :)

started playing this game yesterday.  i got curious because it got a good review from massively dot com.

yep graphics are kinda outdated but i think it benefits those with slower systems (like me)

it even runs fine on my netbook

i also agree the controls are terrible, but luckily pet summons can navigate you automatically

hmmm what else... oh yes, lots of spam bots in the chat box advertising their gold selling services...

leveling is not hard but learning the ropes is kinda steep <-- this might only affect me, since like my computers, im also kinda slow LOL

atm i kinda like the feel of the game... i cant explain why... but ill give it 2 more weeks... til lotro opens ^_^
