White Cuban Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So, i want to renew my wow subscription, but since i'm only on nix now, i have to use wine,googling a bit, i came up into a HORROR story, many people encountered in 2006, hundreds of account closures, no appeals from blizzard. is this still the status Quo? does blizzard still wrongfully acuse people of 3rd party use in WINE? i want someone who actually uses wine and WOW hopefully to tell me its safe, because theres horror story's EVERYWHERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun N. Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I doubt this would still be the issue, I have ran mine a few times in Wine and still had no problems. Best place to ask would be their support forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannister Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 If I remember correctly, the people whose accounts were closed for using WINE (not specifically for that, but Warden obviously detected something "iffy" as in this isn't actually windows) got their accounts back. Pretty sure on the EU forums there is/was a sticky in one of the forums with a guide to get WoW working on WINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollick2 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Warden shouldn't bother wine users anymore. Those who had issues with it had them long ago. Even if you were banned so long as you contact blizzard in a mature calm demeaner they would doublecheck the validity of the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance. Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 ^ ..... :/ Anyway AFAIK WoW can be played on Wine, but just go ahead and ask on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 WoW is 'Gold' status on WineHQ. This means that it runs flawlessly, with some extra configuarion. You can find the guides on the AppDB on WineHQ - http://appdb.winehq.org/. It's top of the list if you scroll down to Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
