Linux and MMO games

[ciepieloo]

i have a question, sorry for my bad english

i always liked playing mmorpg games but not those from mainstream like WOW; on windows i played mainly knight online and world of pirates and such

what mmo games are for linux (native or not native)?

it doesnt have to be rpg it can be in space or pirates... or even trade something..

i have tried eternal lands and planeshft but it sux a little

thx :)

I know a couple of decent games: Eternal Lands and Planeshift, in beta version. Look in jdodson's list of ubergames for more...

I'm running Ragnarok Online with Cedega and everything except fog works quite fine. The problem is the fact that you have to install and update it in Windows. Guide for configuration, etc is here (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-332515-highlight-ragnarok.html).

I've tried Planeshift. The game is really bad. It crashes all the time. When I've tried to enter into a new location game's turned off. I couldn't turn left when I was running ... It is beta with many bugs. Eternal Lands wasn't good too.

I'm still looking for stable, good, nice looking, with low system requirements, free mmorpg, which can be lounched in linux, but such game doesn't exist ...

A tale in the desert is really great and has native linux support :wink:

[Artificial Intelligence]

Daimonin
Eternal Lands
Legends
Planeshift
The Mana World

"A tale in the desert" - this game could be great, but it's too expensive for me, 13$/month :( There is only free trial ( 24 h ) http://www.atitd.com/register.html ...

Daimonin and The Mana World have really bad graphic. For some time I've been playing Tibia and the graphic isn't importent for me - but everything has some limits. These games aren't in mmorpg.com game list ...

I can't find any info about Legends. What is it ??

Thanks for help. Now I now what ''Legends'' is :). But it's woth downloading. Have you played this game, or you've just sent me the link??

Maybe somebody else know good Mmorpg for linux. You can write links and your recomendaction here. I could be wrong and some of these games could be great. Somebody played Daimonin, Legends, Ethernal Lands or Planeshift??

Planeshift isn't really much fun at the moment, but thats because its in the pre-alpha stage. It's little more than a tech demo.

A few months back I played Eternal Lands quite heavily. It's a pretty enjoyable game with nice graphics, and a nice community. It gets repetitive after a while, but I would recommend giving it a chance.

Daimonin I had not heard of yet. It looks somewhat fun, so I am downloading it now.

All the game entry which have "Added by Artificial Intelligence" are games I've tried in ubuntu hoary linux.

I've heard mixed results with World of Warcraft and Cedega. Kinda stinks for me right now because I am really tempted to do away with this dual-boot, but my account is paid up through the end of October.
From what I have read, I will have to downgrade my kernel to pre 2.6.9, shell out a few bucks for Cedega, and cross my fingers. And with all the constant patching that Blizzard is still doing, who knows whats going to happen in the next 2 months.

i wish you could get some really nice for pay mmorpgs for linux. i don't mind paying. but i dont want to have to run something thru cedega, as i can't even buy cedega because they don't take discover card. i really would like to have world of warcraft.

Same feelings with those two free online games for me.
Did you find the one ?

[peter07]

I didn't find any good and free mmorpg which can be lounched in linux, but I've found one for Win - it's Silkroad Online.

It is free ( you can buy special iteams if you want ) and really good ( 8.0 note in mmorpg.com ), but wine doesn't support it. You can read about problems here ( GameGuard doesn't work ):

Linux native games make my kitty cry. And unfortunately MMOs are not an exception. I have tried both Eternal Lands and Planeshift, no thanks.

[Shimala]

There is one decent/stable game that runs natively on linux Regnum online. Its a decent game, the only problem is that most of the people who play it cant speak english.

[Beren Camlost]

One little mmorpg that runs well on linux (with wine) is Ryzom (http://www.ryzom.com/).

It's got a nice (time-unlimited) free trail, and how to set the game up on linux can be found here:

that combination barely exists in the wonderfull world of microsoft... i mean, nice looking and low system requirements are almost polar opposites themselves... stable and free, good luck... stable, nice looking, low system requirements, AND free... you might as well take up video game design and programming and write your own because you could be holding out for a looooooooong time otherwise

[tweakedenigma]

I really enjoy Vendetta Online, gotta pay to play but its stable, Looks good and is a lot of fun. Plus it runs native.
