I was wondering if anyone has tips for great linux(+wine) games that would be great for someone who likes to get absorbed in 1/2 games rather than playing a bunch of games.
Main reason I'm asking is that I'm missing the standard mmo grind. Having something else to put time into would be lovely. Rust is pretty good for filling that gap, but sometimes it would be nice with something else too :)

The galaxy you get to explore is huge and the story is pretty nice too.
MMO wise the only thing i played recently (read 1-2 years ago) was Secret World. It supposedly works in wine but I had some graphical glitches , probably fixable by some tweaks.
If you like grind of all things ,try War Thunder (native) or World of Tanks (wine). Dear god do those tank games have grind.

It worked quite well with WINE until a year ago when they dropped Win95 support and required DX10/11 (I forget which.)
I understand that it works again, but there has been a bug or too... and it now only works with low graphics settings. This unofficial board post mentions WINE 2.15 works.. I'm not sure what improvements if any the lastest version of WINE makes with the game.
The thing is, the endless grind has gotten so bad, I actually quit playing a few months before WINE stopped working. And I was a player from the first week of its release. I am an officer in a small but maxed rank guild; the guild head would love for me to come back to the game. I also have a significant personal in-game wealth with a bunch of max ranked enchantments and what was top gear from when I left (not top gear anymore though.)
I have yet to try again.
EDIT: I have been considering Shroud of the Avatar. It is a native linux MMO. However, it costs money to buy the game. $40US($20 during steam sales.) I'm afraid though that I would pay that money and still end up with endless grind... and they have a cash shop with IRL$ prices just as outrageous as FreePlay MMOs.
