Summer is already present for many, those lucky ones who have already taken vacations and that means that many have a lot of free time. The geeks often use this free time to play on their computer or try new things. If we have Ubuntu, users usually choose to try new things since there are not many video games for Ubuntu, but that is something that has changed in recent years.
Currently we can choose any type of video game for Ubuntu. This time we are going to talk about MMORPGs, massive role-playing games played online. There are many examples of them but the most popular is World of Warcraft, a game that has broken records in the world of video games and that has made the genre revitalize a lot in recent months. That is why we are going to talk to you about games of the MMORPGs genre, games that we can install on Ubuntu and that are generally free or at a fairly low cost that is affordable to everyone.
1. World of Warcraft
The most popular video game in the MMORPGs genre can also be used on Ubuntu. However, this must be achieved through Wine and since you have to pay to use it, I personally do not recommend it. Even so, Ubuntu can make this video game work perfectly and it is not an obstacle to enjoy it. If you still don't know how to install it, it's been a long time since we tell you how to do it in Ubuntu.
2. League of Legends
The famous WoW rival can also be installed on Ubuntu. I am referring to League of Legends or also known as LoL. This video game can be installed on Ubuntu thanks to the tool lutris. The differences with WoW are minimal, but unlike the first, League of Legends is a free video game.
3.Second Life
There are other alternatives to the world of orcs, knights and magic. One of these alternatives is called Second Life. Second Life is a kind of virtual world where our avatar has to do various challenges or interact with other users. Second Life is one of the video games that first used the philosophy of 3D online role-playing games and although it is not as used now as in its beginnings, it really is an interesting and entertaining game. You can get the game through the official website.
4.Champions of Regnum
Champions of Regnum is a very interesting game because it is a WoW clone but made entirely for Gnu / Linux platforms, that is, it works perfectly on Ubuntu. This video game has the same philosophy as WoW but does not offer the improved graphics of the Battle.Net game. In any case, Champions of Regnum is a very interesting game to play online through Ubuntu.
5.Rune Escape
Last but not least we have Runescape. This video game is cross-platform, truly cross-platform and it is a positive point. By this I mean that Runescape allows play through Ubuntu, Windows, MacOS and smartphones.
So we can play with our Ubuntu and also with our smartphone from a remote place like a beach. As for the virtual world, Runescape follows the same philosophy as WoW but with less finished graphics than WoW, it may be due to its operation on smartphones. In any case It is a good option for those who want to play and do not care whether it is on Ubuntu or on a smartphone.
Which video game is better?
If you have time this summer, it is best to try and play the 5 MMORPGs video games. If you don't have time and if money, World of Warcraft seems the best option, but League of Legends takes a close look at this game.
Now, if we do not want to make use of emulators and virtual machines, the best option without a doubt is Runescape, a very complete MMORPG game that will provide us with hours of fun. However Do you know all the games? What MMORPG video game do you prefer?
