Looking for MMO on Linux (Wine/Proton) (self.linux_gaming)

Hi!

I have been playing WoW (more on the private side) for a while now on my Linux machine. However, as time passes by, one does wish to look for different games.

Could anyone recommend me an MMO that works on Linux? More specifically, I have tried quite a number that have been ported natively to Linux, so I was wondering if anyone knows ones they have had a fun time playing which work through Wine or Proton. I have tried few ones other than WoW, but especially their launchers fail to work with Wine.

[email protected]. RuneLite works fantastically.

RuneLite is linux native though. If you want something specifically through Wine, others have said Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV, but I've also heard good stuff about STAR WARS: The Old Republic. And if you're okay with something a little more obscure/"out there", Shakes and Fidget has great reviews (it's a satire on MMORPGs).

I've been able to play old school runescape on my raspberry pi 4, so it'll run on basically anything.

Genuinely curious, was it a good experience? I have a spare Pi laying around with no purpose, and this might be it!

From what I remember it was like 20 fps, but it was playable. I don't know how any bigger dungeons or a lot of players on screen would perform though.
