Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
I think it would be really nice to seriously consider supporting Linux. There are may out there(like me) who would really love to play gw2 on their GNU/Linux OS. I hope this post will reach great mind of developers

Best wishes to everyone!

TL;DR
Too much effort, not enough outcome.In the end, almost everybody has its windows distributive.

I hate windows. I feel unsecured, closed. Yeah, I would love support for Linux. +1 for Linux

Would love this too. I dual-boot to Windows for GW2 and nothing else. Would be nice to get rid of Windows altogether.

Interestingly, the other suggestion thread is one of the most viewed threads on the suggestion forum (next to disabling right-click targetting—which is a fantastic idea, too). The Guild Wars franchise has always had a relatively large linux population. Guild Wars 2, though, does not run well at all.

Here is a link to the other thread.

Ultimately, the thread is filled with linux users who want to play the game where they are comfortable. Some of them have even tried to acquire refunds because of how poorly the game ran on their system. If you are too busy to read the thread, most people feel the linux client is a fantastic idea, but some Windows-centric players feel it is a waste of time. In my opinion, a linux client is the way to go, but who knows what Anet is thinking?

In my opinion, a linux client is the way to go, but who knows what Anet is thinking?

Anet and NCSoft are thinking like a business:

• Is there enough money in our budget (remember, NCSoft allocate money to Anet) for us to be able to do this?
• Can we justify the development cost to do this?
• Will it yield bigger profits? (that is, will it make more money back than was spent than if the money was put to a different use)

Remember, at the moment, they’re still working on a Mac version. To work on a Linux in tandem would cost more money and resources again.

Already a thread about this, contribute to that one
