Well, I've got tons of linux games, mostly FPS, ut2004, Quake Wars, nexuiz, etc etc. Also I have command & conqueror Generals in Cedega.
However I do not have an online rpg, I have seen regnum, not sure the gameplay, also I've installed Irth on cedega but their server seems to be down 80% through the patching. Are there any other recommendations out there?

You could try Planeshift (http://www.planeshift.it/). It is a free MMORPG but still pretty much in development. It is playable though.
You can also check out Neverwinter Nights. That's commercial though.

An MMO is not the same as an RPG.
So what's you're looking for is a free/cheap MMO right?

So what's you're looking for is a free/cheap MMO right?Yeah, you are correct. I suggested one of each (MMO and RPG), I think he meant MMORPG. Along those lines there is also Eternal Lands (http://www.eternal-lands.com/) which is free.

Regnum Online (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/index.php?l=1) : is very good in my opinion. I had a lot of fun with it for a long time, and they have put in a lot more quests and such since I last played it.
Auteria (http://www.auteria.com/?c=main) : is not bad looking, it is in Beta, but looks pretty awesome.
Neverwinter Nights (http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html) : is still one of the best RPG's for Linux.
There are other simpler RPG's in the repository like Falcon's Eye if you are not looking for fancy graphics.
There are also several World Forge (http://www.worldforge.org/) clients, with at least Sear being in the repository.

Linux mmo's:
Native there is eve online (space stuff), regnum (most players speak spanish, and you pay for premium content), Planeshift, and eternal lands (both open source...quality is not up to current generation standards, but they are free to play!)
Through wine, there is WoW (montly fee), guild wars(frequent expansion packs, think pay for updates), and a few others, I think Lord of the rings online, everquest, etc (all montly fee, and im not sure if/how well they work)
There are also other lesser thought of options, diabloII can be multiplayer, although certainly not MMO scale, and neverwinter nights has some persistant worlds online that play like an mmo. There are a bunch of other games that I havent mentioned that have smaller followings, some are browser based so they run on any system. For my money, WoW, eve online, guild wars, or the other commercial games will offer the most polish, but you will be paying for it. You said you have tons of linux games, so I would assume you already have NWN, meaning that trying that out might be a good way to get your MMO feet wet, since its free if you own the game.
