Not quite a year ago, I asked the MOP readers about the best MMOs for playing on a potato – you know, a crap machine. Today I wanna flip it around, inspired by this Bsky thread about Warframe being tested on some crazy low-end devices.
See, over the holidays, I was stuck on my laptop a lot, and it’s not a gaming laptop. That means most of my MMOs are playable-ish at best in that I can technically boot them and up and log in, if I turn every setting down until everyone’s a fuzzy blob. But try to play for more than a few minutes and I’ll be burning off my fingers, so it’s not pleasant. I wound up playing some older MMOs and lower-key games instead of the ones I wanted to be in – specifically, I wanted to play Guild Wars 2 and Lord of the Rings Online. Neither of which is exactly a new game! But man I wish they played better on a lower-end machine.
Which MMO do you wish ran on a potato? Which MMO just seems designed for that kind of play on the go but runs surprisingly hot?
