Looking for MMO on Linux (Wine/Proton) (lemmy.world)

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.

Old Republic is still a great game. You can tell the jump in graphics from the original game to the expansions, but it still holds up. It also runs pretty great on Proton, and the launcher was moved to Steam. And it's free.

I recommend people try it and if they like it, just pay the subscription, for at least a month. Even if you cancel after a month, paying for a month gets you access to the expansions. When I'm actively playing it I happily pay the subscription, it's a big quality of life boost.
