Are there any good MMORPG games natively run on Linux?

WoW still runs great under Wine.

OSRS is native when using Runelite. Unfortunately, Jagex is soon making its launcher the only way to sign in and they refuse to make a version for Linux. Heard it works fine through wine though.

I don’t know about natively, but I’ve played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it’s been a little bit.

You really need to join a group that knows what they’re doing.

It looks a bit rough but it’s very good. Had to quit it though because it took over my life.

Can’t really recommend it though, but it seems to be pretty popular.

Stop caring about native. It seriously just doesn’t matter anymore.

XIV Launcher is the easiest way to get FF XIV running, plus it can link to your phone to almost automatically handle OTP (no typing it in, your phone just sends the code over your local network), but you could also just install the trial inside Steam, should work fine.

Copypasta time. “Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!”

Gaben is also an FF XIV player, and Proton always gets a hotfix like a day after anything breaks (usually it’s the launcher).

If bans from playing on Linux (or at least the deck) were common there’d be a lot more info about it like there is for other games. Just don’t cheat or use sketchy mods. I’ve only played on Linux (all AMD tbf, both desktop and steam deck, so the drivers are good) and have never had a problem.

I guess it was implied, but I didn’t use cheats. After a few times playing, I always got banned for whatever reason

Agreed, Proton and other alternatives work great!
