It appears you are correct. I connected tonight and it all went terribly wrong. It didn't like something in those files it downloaded. And it has been running so well too

Just started this petition about getting ArenaNet to make a Linux client available:

Do you think Arenanet would invoke the DMCA against such a labour of love?

Also, if Guild Wars made its way to a next-gen console, would you invest in it?

True but at the rate they changes to the client (besides the breaking possible DMCS and EULA) that be a lot of work / time it would take to remake it.

I can see a Mac Client happening before a Linux client but not a bad idea with the petition. Putting this game on the console's (like ffxi, PC, PS2, and soon Xbox360) would give them a nice user base as well as Linux & Mac.
