Are there any good MMORPG games natively run on Linux?

I mean... good chance just about any of them will work on linux, with pretty minimal effort.

I used to play WoW on linux, back in 2008/2009, without issues....

Most MMOs I play these days have their own invasive anti-cheat which makes them incompatible with tools like proton, sadly.

Edit: reading more comments, it seems my experiences and likely also taste in MMOs is uncommon.

Black desert, Mabinogi, and Phantasy Star Online 2 are some games I've recently run into that would run with proton if anti cheat didn't stop them.

invasive anti-cheat

Eh, I refuse to play any of the games like that. Although, most of the gaming I do, is strictly lan based, where cheating isn't a huge concern.
