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.

I've played a bit of CoH Homecoming and Guild Wars 2 via Lutris, no issues. I know neither of those are particularly new games, but they run fine.

And Guild Wars 2 is nowadays also on Steam, making it even easier to get into it. Note for anyone who previously played GW2 before it came to Steam: You can also use the Steam version if you add "-provider Portal" as a launch parameter.

Good to know, thanks!
