Linux MMORPG’s
Afterworld
A furturistic MMO, still in development. Check out thier FAQ and it says thier hoping to make a native linux client.

A non violent game, filled with puzzles. Very good for those that like flexing thier mental muscle.
Celetania
Space based MMO
Dofus
A very cute fantasy game in which players battle monsters and collect resources to create magic items.
Eternal Lands
Friendly game i havent spent enough time in. Its been about scince 2003, and is a very nice game to drift in.
EVE
A futuristic game in which players fly space ships. You can be a merchant or a pirate. Very PvP game. If you dont like fighting other players dont try this game ^^ . Doesnt work with ATI cards.

It aint pretty, but it does seem to have 30k+ people logged on all the time. Its gotta have something good about it ^^
Vendetta
Similar to EVE. Works with ATI cards though.

May I suggest two others? Regnum Online is quite good, as is PlaneShift, although I’ll admit I haven’t played the latter in a year or two.
