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.

        I’d never heard of Project Gorgon until it was recommended to me on here like, yesterday? Funny that it came up again.

        I spun up the demo this morning. It feels pretty rough around the edges, but I’ll give it a little more time.

        I also looked at Palia. Looks like a relaxing game!
