Guild Wars on Linux

To:  ArenaNet Inc.

When ArenaNet launched Guild Wars, an online role-playing game, they wrote that it would eventually be available on other platforms, like Linux. It's been almost a year now, and NOTHING has happened. Below is the answer I got from ArenaNet, when I asked excactly when they were expecting a working version of Guild Wars for Linux to be available:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team.

At
this time, Guild Wars only runs on a Windows operating system. Although
this may change at some point in the future, there are no plans at this
time to adapt Guild Wars to other systems, including Linux.

If
this is something you feel strongly about, we encourage you to consider
posting your suggestions on one of many of the Guild Wars Fansite
message boards. A compiled list can be found on the official Guild Wars
website at http://guildwars.com/community/default.html.
By posting on one of these message boards, other players can comment on
your ideas, concerns, and suggestions, and
Development Team members are able to catch up on what the community
wants to see in Guild Wars. Fansite forums make it easy and efficient
for us to learn from those playing the game.

Regards,

The Guild Wars Support Team
