Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of some MMOs that are native to linux, preferably free.

Not SecondLife.

Have you tried planeshift? It might be worth looking at. Last I tried playing it(a year or so ago), it was still a little rough, but seems to be developing fast.

Looks okay.

Hopefully it has a good number of players.

How well does WoW run under WINE, or Cedega?

I have bought Cedega, and was wondering which it would run better in.

wow runs great in wine. It can run as well as it does in windows. Your going to have to tweak it a little bit, but once you get everything up and running, its worth it.

Know of a good guide?

I started playing WoW a few days ago, I was hoping I wouldn't get addicted.


Too late.

Here's a nice list:

Regnum (http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Regnum) is one of my personal favorites, tho I havn't had alot of time to play it due to life/work.

WoW runs really well in Wine, though I hear Cedega has it's own perks for WoW as it makes some of the adjustment for you to make gameplay a little easier. As well as offering support, but if you tire of cedega and just wanna go for it with wine to play WoW. The Wine Application Database (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5606) (or the 2.01 version which hasn't been updated to include all the info here (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6482)) has about all the info you would ever need to get it up and running properly.

Also remember reality exists, it's easy to forget in WoW. I myself escaped after over a year of playing lol honestly. :P

Good luck,

Tibia is one of my favor though I don't play much MMO games (I have a bad habit to get way to addictive to such games :-/ )

Well, if you find some few people that actually are roleplaying it's quiet fun. But the terrible truth is most people don't. It's a shame as such games could be a great place to retreat into to roleplay :mrgreen:

Now if you're looking for farmers and rude people MMORPG is the way to go :mrgreen:
