MMORPG to play on a netbook?

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. 

Playing - EVE, Wurm

Retired - Final Fantasy XI, Anarchy Online, Mabinogi

Waiting - ArcheAge, Salem

    I've heard EQ runs on netbooks

     Grouping in Old school mmo's: meeting someone at the bar and chatting, getting to know them before jumping into bed.  Current mmo's grouping: tinder.  swipe, hookup, hope you don't get herpes, never see them again.

    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.
