World of warcraft on linux
There is an initiative trying to convince blizzard to build a linux dist. of world of warcraft game. A total of 20000 signatures are needed, and already 15000 people have signed. If you want wow dist. to linux please sign the petition.
google: petition warcraft for the horde |
Since this is for the benefit of the Linux community, I think I'll post the URL here:
http://www.blizzpub.net/petition/ I am not sure of the moderators' stand on this issue, so I'll let them decide whether such a thing is considered advertising or not. |
Sweet! The only reason I still have Win2k on my machine is so I can play this game :).

What?!
Have you played the game? There's no way I'd run a Distro built by blizzard, nor would I attempt to support it, bnet kiddies are bad for my health. I played (note, past tense) WoW, it was fun but had a lot of issues, they're headed down the road to being another SOE (those who have played SOE and Bliz games know what I mean). No thanks.. -Jason |

No, I did not check out the link because, like I said I would never run a distro by Blizzard. Quote:
WoW was enjoyable, so I'm sure WoW players who like linux would like to see this post and not see our ranting and raving. -Jason |
I think it's a port. Not a dist. Check the site.

I signed it, but has anyone from Blizzard said they would actually do it if they got 20,000 signatures? Because I imagine it would be a LOT of work for them. Not only in the coding but in the customer support and things of that nature, and thats only going to be amplified by the fact that they are constantly adding to the game. Just seems a bit unlikely they will do it to me.

... Anyways ... username17: I was too harsh. Sorry. Excuse: I was tired and angry (not at you). I guess we go in peace :) |
I want to sign the petition, but I'm not rejoicing about the fact that the phone number must be given. Is this actually an official Blizzard petition? It doesn't seem like it. Seems more like a Blizzard fansite.

OK here is the real catch in the whole petition scheme...

I know someone who was a beta tester on the original windows port of this game but to have pay to beta test seems kinda exploitive to me. So in essence you have to buy it before you can try it. lets see 1000+ hours playing a game you have to pay for monthly or 1000+ hours of free time in which you can work at a paying job, learn how to do something useful like set up a LAMP server, spend time with the family or friends. The decision is yours to make... Thorn |
