The best Multiuser game I know is called Netrek.

What is Netrek?

 Netrek is a 16-player graphical real-time battle simulation with a
Star Trek theme.  The game is divided into two teams of 8 (or less), who
dogfight each other and attempt to conquer each other's planets.  There
are several different types of ships, from fast, fragile scouts up to
big, slow battleships; this allows a great deal of variance in play
styles.

 Netrek is set up as a client/server combination; if you want to play,
you'll need the client binary for your machine (most are X-based).


It's real fun an you can play it across the whole world.
For further information check the FAQ of the rec.games.netrek list or

Have fun,
