An Email to NCsoft I decided it was time I emailed the creators of Guild Wars about a Linux client. Why? Well I had a dream that I was the chosen one to lead Linux users to a new light! Actually I was just annoyed at messing about with GW on Linux under Cedega and decided to have a polite moan just to see if there was anything interesting in the reply.
The reply was of course disappointing, however they did say they are "aware that there is an interest in having the game available using other operating systems" and that they will "will continue to evaluate these possibilities" which is much better than, "Linux? No, Frig off". If for some reason you would like to read my email and NCsoft's full reply, perhaps out of bordom, or a glimmer of hope that I had missed some cryptic clue as to the release date of the Linux client, feel free to do so with the magical link below. Me: Dear Sirs, There are over 4300 signatures here: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?gwlinux All these people want the option to play Guild Wars under Linux. I realise this number may be too small to be financially viable however I am sure many of the 4300 people who have taken the time to sign that petition would not mind paying towards a Linux client, myself included. Perhaps this would be a possible avenue if enough money could be generated to cover development costs? If this is out of the question perhaps you would consider doing what Blizzard have done with World of Warcraft and help the Cedega developers (http://transgaming.com) ensure World of Warcraft runs well under Cedega which it indeed does. I look forward to your reply. Chris One of the thousands of Guild Wars playing Linux users Them: Hello Chris, Guild Wars is being developed on and will initially be released for the PC. We are aware that there is an interest in having the game available using other operating systems or on other platforms, and we will continue to evaluate these possibilities. We will also forward the suggestion to the Cedega developers as well. In the event that we do announce the availability of Guild Wars on another platform or operating system, we will be sure to update our official site, www.guildwars.com, with such news. Thanks again for your interest in the game. Regards, GM Trent NCsoft Europe Guild Wars Customer Support  0 Comments
