I am looking for some good linux MMORPGs or at least some MMORPGs that are known for a fact to work with linux without having to stand on your head and chant "hail satan"

it's not for me becuase I am asking if there are any MMORPGs for it.... ooooook... inteligent logic...
if there aren't any for linux I will play MMORPGs in windows, so sorry for asking if they existed so I can entertain myself without having to switch systems, oh yes that must mean that I am not a true linux user, I should go kill myself for liking linux just because I WONDERED if there were MMORPGs that work for it
oh, last thing, have you ever even USED linux you ass

ok, since you are all ass holes, would a mod delete this NOW, I don't give a fuck about finding out the answer, all I will get is sarcasting remarks anyhow, just delete and I will ask someplace that isn't full of imature 14yos
Linux is sadly an OS that is NOT good for people who prioritize gaming. There're windows emulations, but those are usually hard to use and not 100% perfect and all that...
What I'm trying to come at is... If you want to play MMOs, get frikkin' Windows or Some Apple machine, because there're none for Linux! Heck, you can go Dual-OS and have windows simply for gaming, I did that for a while.

You guys are fucking dumb for saying things like "text based mmorpg without any graphics" and "commandline mmorpg"
They're called MUDs and they've been around for decades. They're also way deeper than most (all?) so-called mmorpgs. And they don't have a shitty marketBOL name. I mean wtf mmorpg? How do I even pronounce that? I see an rpg in there but have you ever seen anyone on a mmorpg server successfully roleplaying? People who play them just go out and grind day after day. And pay for the priveledge. Enjoy your life, or lack thereof.

Truth. However I have been playing a MUD called Imperian recently. Very very nice.

I've tried both Achaea and Imperian. I can't say I like either all that much.
The main problem with Imperian is it's quite empty. Achaea has size, but other issues. Also, all of Ironrealm's games suffer issues in combat mechanics in such a way that they've become programmer playgrounds; most of what is done in a fight is done by scripts.
The combat mechanics may be a breath of fresh air compared to the stupidity in most other MUDs, but if everyone needs code in order to be competitive, you know something is wrong.

to quote another post elsewhere on world4ch...
"It's 'cause it's easier to type @hook a large hook stained and rusted with blood is hanging here than modeling it, putting the texture on, and optionally, adding some physics in."

marketBOL
Stop making stupid words up.
The rest of the world has forgotten COBOL, and it's time you did too.

World of Warcraft works well for me in Linux using Cedega.
I never said ANYTHING about prioritising gaming, I am only asking so when I get bored and am in linux I could turn on something to keep me entertained for the time being without restarting and logging back into windows. I already said this, why the hell does everything linux related get bombarded with flames by people that only read what they want to, does bill gates pay you guys to do this....

puzzle-pirates is cross-platform.
crossfire: -veeeery- old origin, but still new community/development unix-native mmorpg; might also be open source (if so, I think I'll take a look for some design momentum)
any java-based mmo
and, of course, the Real Man suggestion: write one yourself. all MMOs of today suck anyway.

crossfire is open source... there's also daimonin which is IIRC a fork of crossfire...
i've played daimonin a bit on freebsd... seems pretty good... installing was as easy as "portinstall daimonin" :)

It's because Linux is quietly growing, as Windows did 15 years ago. I'd wager >>10 doesn't know or remember that the exact same arguments were made against the new Microsoft Windows 95 and Apple System 7.5 because they weren't as serious a gaming platform as MS-DOS 6.22. Now here comes Unix done better and redone as a home user's system, and it's automatically "not as good" a gaming platform as the legacy-laden Mac OS X and exceptionally legacy-laden Windows X POS^H^H^H^H^H^H XP OS merely because it's different.
As more gamers realize that Linux isn't a toy anymore, more publishers will come to their senses and realize they have a mostly untapped market of Linux gamers ready and willing to pay for good games.
