Safe to use WOW with WINE?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
