MMO! Yay! Linux! Ah, crap...

Alright, here's the story. I'm a linux gamer. Yes, we do exist. I need a new MMO to kill some time until I can actually figure out HOW to run the games I already play.

That's all fine and good. I'm also poor! College is hard enough to pay for, so I need FREE games.

So... what's the verdict, guys? What are my free linux MMOing options?

    I am on a mac bok pro 10.4.10 and hating the hell out of it. Strangely, without a working dvd drive screwed up by Apple themselves, I am paralized...SL works fine though, and helps to fill the void. Can't wait to get back to run ryzom silan to the roots....

    best...

    Played (more than a month): SWG, Second Life, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, EvE, MxO, Ryzom.

    Tried: WoW, Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Everquest, WWII Online, Planetside

    Beta: Lotro, Tabula Rasa, WAR.

    Alright, I've tried Planeshift (www.planeshift.it) and daimonin (www.daimonin.net).

    Planeshift was slow after a while, and I didn't really get into it too far. Daimonin was alright, too, but I felt like I was playing Baldur's Gate on a windows 3.1 machine.

     

    I guess what it comes down to, is I am looking for a game I can play on linux, either natively or through wine (cedega costs money, if I remember correctly...) that plays similarly to Conquer Online 2.0 (www.conqueronline.com).

    I just wanna kill stuff and loot em, so any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for helping, in advance. While I wait for you guys, I'll probably keep looking on my own, and trying stuff out.

    Once you get passed the graphics it really has some depth to it.

    Anarchy Online can be run on Linux.

     

    Here's a long thread with the setup stuff: forums.anarchy-online.com/showthread.php

    Well, Eve-Online is not at all free..but it does have an officially supported linux-client (it has a few bugs though, it was released a few weeks ago)..

    (runs fine on gentoo & ubuntu 7.10)
