Could you please give some specs? It's really hard to know what it'll run. Use Speccy [http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download], for instance.

Guild Wars is a good choice; 30 bucks for the trilogy, and another 10 for the expansion if you buy it in the next few days. And it means you can prepare for Guild Wars 2!

Runes of Magic, definatly beginner friendly, but has TONS of controls and can be a little confusing at the very beginning. But after that is full-on fun, and you don't get your immersion "broken" by someone named Mister McPorkyPants running around you.
However, it may be a little hard on your laptop but you can get the 3GB regular download instead of the 7GB HD download. I've had tons of fun with it, but the problem is that the awesome trinkets are paid (real money).

I've played a lot, most are just wow with either an anime style and/or no budget. I still have a relatively active character in Vidictus and I've really enjoyed the style that game gives. It's less a standard mmo and more close to a spectacle fighter as Yahtzee describes the fighting style. And similar to that, the areas where you fight enemies are very similar levels in that there's a specific area, you select it from a menu of sorts, wait for people or jump right in and then you're running through one instance of that area. When you beat the boss you get transported back to town and can jump right back in or bum around town and talk to NPCs.

The combat can get complicated though, as a slow or jerky internet connection can have you run up to an enemy start swinging to realize you lagged and he jumped away some time ago. Still, I've had fun with it. Combat flows and most areas are good or easier with others but not so overbearing that you couldn't do a solo run.

... when I started writing I wasn't trying to make a short review. I guess I like the game more than I thought.

All Points Bulletin is in an open beta, and will be free to play. You could try that.
The system requirements for that game are pretty high for an MMO, IMO

My computer has trouble running it so if he is worried about sys requirements ABP should be avoided.

DDO is my recommendation

Dungeons and Dragons Online by far and it´s free
No, no it isn't. See comments on LotRO above. Oh yeah, and it's pretty much a party-only game. It is NOT solo friendly unless you've got several high level toons involved in raiding already and can gear up a specially designed twinked-out solo alt.
It being a partybased game doesn´t have to be that bad a thing, it actually is one of the main reasons I play the game, though I have to agree with you on the whole free thing, it sucks.
Well, the problem with a party-based game like that (I'm EU) is that Codemasters are rubbish. Turbine isn't that much better, but Codemasters are really rubbish. So if you want to play DDO as an EU person, you're still strongly recommended to go on the American servers with Turbine... but for a party game, that isn't great either, because EU prime-time is the middle of the US workday, so it's really hard to find people to play with. That was my experience anyway, which is why I'm no longer playing, or subscribed to, DDO.

You could try Adventure Quest, AQ worlds, DragonFable or Mech Quest. They're all 2D with modifiyable graphics, but they are also repetitive and rather boring after a while. I would stick with Runescape to be honest, it's the best F2P MMO out there for a reason, it doesn't stick to the mould that most MMO's do and it is rather user friendly.
i have tried all those listed. didn't like them
Can't blame you. AQ Worlds is the MMO formula at it's worst.

I to would most definitely recommend going on the US servers, as well. Mainly because the EU servers on longer exist. Turbine took full control over international DDO late last year.

That and soloing has become much easier then it once was. While groups are still best an talented soloist can thrive in most content.

Maplestory.

excuse me while i go try out maple story
Don't get sucked into that, it seems really fun at first, but past level 20 or so you have 180 levels of pure, hardcore grind grind grind, trust me no other game matches maplestorys level of grind!

I would recommend... well I have played almost all of the ones suggested here, but not in a long time, but most if not all of them were fun so you can't go wrong (except maplestory, grind grind grind -_________________- )

I was about to say DDO, but...yea, you guys are right, it's a ripoff since they made it free to play. No, it's not easy on soloers, but finding a party is easy, and the user base is MUCH friendlier than that of, say, WoW. Then again, what user base isn't friendlier than wow's?

Ghanni the Demicanadian Voodoo Princess is pretty badass though.

I love my character that i'd be running for well over a year at my last job though sadly T_T.
