GW could be made to run under Linux using Cedega (a kind of DirectX emulation software for those not familiar with it) but the Sorrow's Furnace update broke it. So the SF update made me boot Windows for the first time since 3 months...

A REAL Linux client would be cool and GW's huge success would probably justify a port, too.

games are the only reason I have to use windows....it makes me cry. I wish Cedega was free...I refuse to pay for software to run on a free operating system....although I suppose Im paying for the service more than the software....but anyways it leave a bad taste in my mouth reguardless.

If they made it run for linux, then they wouldn't have to change much for full mac osx support. Considering a good amount of anet used to work for blizzard, the fact that there isn't a port has had me confused.

Like I have said to many others, Windows only servers one purpose in my life and that is for GAMING. Other then that LINUX (gentoo) all the way!!

Cedega simply sucks for online gaming, you want minimum lag and maximum speed lest you annoy your teammates with your frequest lagging / dieing / idling. I think right now Guild Wars run at about half speed if you use Cedega, simply not good enough.

Do make a native linux port.

One less reason to have Windows on my hard drive is a good thing.

If anyone knows of a Thread or Petition already in motion, post the link. I did a search of Riverside Inn and Sardelac Sanitarium and it turned up not much.

I'd personally like to quit my whole two-timed computing (as in playing GuildWars on the other and having other programs on the others). I have 4 computers at my place, 3 tabletops and one laptop. One of them has windows and it serves currently only one purpose. GuildWars. Otherwise, I don't even use it.

2005 to 2008 in a single page. Look at how many admit to not having a GW account.
