I’m seeking recommendations for mp games where I could make friends so
- must run on Linux
- must have a multiplayer element
- said multiplayer must not rely on you already having friends, so it must include an alive function finding you a team
- must have a function to communicate and add people you played with afterwards
The games I know of, which fullfil these (obviously tired of these, hence why seeking more):
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Dead by Daylight
- Guild Wars 2
- League of Legends
- Overwatch 2 (possible issues with client on Linux)
I live in a country where I don’t speak the language, I moved here not to go homeless in the previous country and I really miss any human connections. I will appreciate the recs.
Palia is brand new (still in open Beta) It’s more focused on low-key crafting/farming and community, but opportunities to socialize are there.

Guild Wars 2 is my favorite “no subscription required” MMORPG that could work for you (but you have that one).
.
ESO Online is my favorite “subscription” MMO and I’ve met people there.
.
FFXIV is decent for socializing but, the hard-core gamers can stress you out. Works best if you join a low key guild that doesn’t want to speed-run all the duties and crap on you for not being as good as they are.
.
General rule for MMORPGs in general is, find a guild you like and hang with them.
I’m waiting on Palia’s final release. I did beta testing, but I’m getting extremely tired of unfinished content, especially after my recent experiences.
Palia is fun for awhile but not a lot of lasting content there yet.
An oldschool style Linux native MMO I still recommend is Project Gorgon. It’s a very social game, while you can do a lot solo eventually you’ll run into the game’s only real punishment which is dying from a boss fight. You’ll get a permanent curse that can only be lifted by defeating that boss and the best way to do that is to find other players in game to help you do it.
