Are there any good MMORPG games natively run on Linux?

Project gorgon as others have said is the first native game that comes to mind. Guild wars 2 runs great on proton and that's my recommendation. FF14 is great if you don't mind the subscription and can get through the vanilla campaign, which is a massive slog and a major setback in the quality of the game IMO. Guild wars 2 is a similar situation in that it's a slog for the personal story, but after that it picks up and that's only like 40% of the vanilla campaign as opposed to the whole vanilla campaign of FF14. The FF14 fanboys don't want to talk about the vanilla campaign and for good reason, it sucks, it's just not fun. The game doesn't get good until heavensward.

just want to add, I personally thought heavensward was just alright, stormbringer was a step backwards, but Holy Hell Shadowbringers and Endwalker stand out as some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

Find a group and play with them, having a 4 man party through the whole game is what kept me going. The free trial lets you touch the first extreme trials which are some pretty good content in my opinion.
