Game Addict With An Old Computer

Hi,

I've been addicted to MMORPG's for years now, and still haven't found one that has kept my interest for more than a few months.

My computer is really quite old, being a 2004 Toshiba laptop, and unfortunately I don't have the money to replace it for a while yet. I really love MMORPG games but unfortunately a lot of games won't work on my computer.

Way, way back when I first started playing, I played Runescape, but quickly grew bored of it. I've also played Gaia Online's zOMG!, and loved that to absolute pieces, but I grew bored of Gaia Online and the fact that zOMG! is linked to it so strongly meant that I grew bored of that too. For a long while I was playing my first download game, Perfect World International, but I eventually grew bored of that too. I've also gone back to Adventure Quest several times over the years, but I always grow bored of it fairly quickly.

Since then I have tried to download more games, such as League of Legends, Forsaken World and Path of Exile, but I keep running into the same problem - my computer won't play them.

I'm looking for a game that I can play on my computer, preferably fantasy-based with lots of character customization. I don't particularly care about PvP features, or anything like houses etc. (In fact I don't really like house features, I feel they take away from the gameplay.) I really, really hate FPS and RTS games, and please don't suggest any Sci-Fi either.

I've had a look at some games like Fiesta Online and Ragnarok too, but the 'cutesy' nature is a little bit too much for me, I like mine a little more gritty than that.

Here are my computer specs:

Operating System: Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
BIOS: v1.20
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.20GHz
Memory: 750MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.5512 32bit Unicode
Card name: Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller

Anything else you need to know, ask.

Any suggestions welcomed! Thank you! x

EDIT: I've just started downloading Fiesta Online, and am also considering re-downloading PWI... It was a great game.
EDIT(2): Screw Fiesta, the character creation options are absolutely pitiful and the game is the mmorpg equivalent of google+ - a ghost town.

 

Yes, I have, but I'm not big on RTS games, I'm more of a get in there and do it yourself kind of girl.

I'm not really into modern [war/guns/set in the last two hundred years] games either, though I might pass that one along to my gun-crazy gaming brother. [By modern I mean anything to do with modern warfare, nor anything futuristic like Star Trek Online.]

Thank you both of you for the suggestions, though. :3
