Are there any good MMORPG games natively run on Linux?
Not native, but Guild Wars 2 runs great on Linux and is a whole lotta fun
Also, in my experience, proton runs most things just as well if not better than native Linux games.
Yes, I have logged more than 14000 hours in GuildWars2, mostly in WvW maps and since it started playing well on Proton I never touched Windows anymore.
(I have no life).
Not native but Palia is one that recently released and is getting a ton of love. It runs on Linux using lutris-GE-Proton8-13
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.

I spent a lot of time playing The Mana World when I was younger
You could try RuneScape 3 or OSRS don’t really play it anymore but I remember it works on Linux natively.
The OSRS client RuneLite is Linux native, open source, and Jagex (the developer) approved
I mean… good chance just about any of them will work on linux, with pretty minimal effort.
I used to play WoW on linux, back in 2008/2009, without issues…
Most MMOs I play these days have their own invasive anti-cheat which makes them incompatible with tools like proton, sadly.
Edit: reading more comments, it seems my experiences and likely also taste in MMOs is uncommon.
Example?
Black desert, Mabinogi, and Phantasy Star Online 2 are some games I’ve recently run into that would run with proton if anti cheat didn’t stop them.
Not sure how good it is but Ryzom is Linux native and open source. I’ll be checking it out soon
The universe is interesting, but the quality sucks. Some interesting concept, that’s all.
