Hi!

What good multiplayer-online-games do you now with free server access? I played freeciv a few minutes ago and it's easy to connect to other human players which makes gaming much more interesting.

Do you know some other free games with such an option?

Enemy-Territory for first person shooters.

Bzflag is pretty good.
I think cube and saurbraten have online capabilities.
Net panzer is a nice online RTS game

It depends on what you're looking for exactly. Basically, however, there are some good posts for games in the forums, just do a search and you can come up with some rather good lists.

Personally, I would recommend checking out:

Planeshift (still in development, however)
The Mana World (Might still be in development, but very playable
or
Eternal Lands

If you're interested in spending a few bucks, and have a decent graphics card, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out Savage. I have yet to purchase this game (only tried the demo so far) but the entire concept, graphics and gameplay just blow my mind

Cube is also fun, but I think you'll have problems downloading it from portage. I hear that there is a serious upstream vulnerability with it. Kinda sad, as I had fun playing it.

Oh, also check out legends.

Sauerbraten is great. You can find the latest ebuild in Gentoo Bugzilla. It has an advanced Geometry/In-Game map editing which you can do online with other human players.

Tremulous (Standalone version not in portage, check Gentoo Bugzilla) is a RTS/FPS Alien V.S. Human game.

Warzone2100 is a great free RTS and it's in portage. Online play and all.

Eternal Lands is a nice MMORPG.

Warsow, in Gentoo Bugzilla is great.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and the True Combat: Elite modification.

Wesnoth: Great turn-based strategy game with tons of people online.

Counter-strike 1.6 is the best game, Do not even think about buying Counter-Strike: source. Its hard, I played it once, but i was really getting PWNED, so thats why I say that 1.6 is better than Source.

What about tetrinet?

There is a few clients on portage.

PaveQ:
Do you know of any screenshots of Utopia? It sounds interesting (well, at least their homepage and tutorial look kinda neat) but I can't find any shots of the game.

There is a new version of XShipWars out. I hope it means the game is making a come-back.

It's a Windows game and requires a paid copy of Half-Life.
