World of Warcraft for Linux

To:  Blizzard Game Company

Dear Makers of the game World of Warcraft (WoW):

As Linux users, time and time again we are faced with being "left out" in terms of being able to enjoy certain online games (and other software) the same way that other users do (such as those using Windows). This is a shame because there are actually many more users of Linux out there than the media and most technical sources acknowledge and we deserve to have voice.

The purpose of this petition is to provide for you a visual representation of the popularity of the idea of having World of Warcraft being ported to the Linux operating system, and more importantly, to encourage your company to actually provide a Linux version of the game of World of Warcraft for Linux users everywhere to enjoy.

Also, because Linux is becoming more and more popular everyday, please consider including Linux as part of your larger business model in terms of software offerings moving forward.

Optimally, there would be a version of WoW available for the major versions of Linux and other *nix systems (i.e., Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, Slackware, Ubuntu, Debian, FreeBSD, PC-BSD, and Solaris). However, the porting WoW to any of the most popular Linux distros would be a good starting point.

Please review the list of supporting petitioners and consider porting World of Warcraft to Linux for us.

In the spirit of Interoperability, we Thank You in advance for helping to show how popular and worthy the Linux operating system really is!
