Yes, with varying degrees of difficulty - most are written only for
the Windows flavour of the day, but will run under Wine will more or
less configuration details.  Some MMOGs do have native Linux clients.

Almost invariably not - especially the time.  Most of these games are
deliberately designed to eat thousands of hours just to begin with.
Given that, they are usually essentially free in terms of cost per
hour of "entertainment".

In most of them the quantity and quality of roleplaying is negligible.
In RPG terms they tend to be the equivalent of slogfest dungeon crawls
under particularly bizarre rules, run by a demented idiot rules-lawyer
GM.

Heh, that's many years before my first character :-)
