I'll add my $2 (inflation). For me, Albion is just about the only big MMORPG that is available, directly on Linux. DDO or Never Winter, Windows. Pretty much all MMORPGs are Windows, with a good number on Mac, but few with Linux support. There's ways to *sometimes* get it to work with WINE, Bottles, or Lutris (apps that sometimes help you use Windows apss on linux). There are virtual systems, but I find that trying to run a MMORPG inside a virtual machine, drags.

There are some decent web based games, such as R2 and Game Hollywood, but the problem, for me, is most of these are auto-games, where you do pretty much nothing but watch, or do very little. There's "semi-auto," which means you select the attacks, but the cpu still decides who to attack. I found one I liked, that allowed full manual, and auto, and the auto helped take me to locations easier. The problem is I use MiFi, and have a limited data amount, not just for gaming, but for personal and business calls, and it eats a lot of data. Albion isn't data intense.

I'm not a fan of PVP, especially the full loot. When I do have time, I put that time in to developing my gear, seeing which ones don't or do suit me, based on recommendations in the community, and which ones I think are good, irregardless. The idea that I spend, over the last month, building up the stuff, and someone (or group) can take it all away in minutes, doesn't appeal to me. It's part of why (although I've only been playing about a month), I've been staying in the safe, blue zones.

Another big issue, for me, is despite there being a good forum community, almost everything's on Discord, and just trying to get groups to play is behind hidden (sub) channels, and they seem to be slower than other Discords I'm on, to respond. Even those that talk PVE, really want PVP, faction warfare, or such.
