Hello all seeing i am now a full linux user i am going to atempt to make somewhat of a list for the MMORPGS, MMOGs ETC that will run on linux and explain to best of my ability how i got them to work. This will be a big long effort on my end so be patient and wait as i try games and see if i can get them going i am downloading a few as we speak and will keep you all posted on what happens. I will try and use Cedega(Payed Version 5.2) and Wine to get games working and tell you all which work and which don't that i try and what is the best method i used that worked etc....
First in Line is:
*Ultimate Baseball Online* **Cedega** Don't Work/Updates, Loads, Crashes **Wine** Don't Work
*Knight Online* **Cedega** Took 3 hours to install then won't run **Wine** Untested
*SpaceCowboy* **Cedega** Error at end of install(which took 2 hours) **Wine** Untested

AppDB at winehq is a good place to start:

I've been playing Guild Wars on succesfully with Cedega 5.2.2 which has been a great investment.

I tried City of Heroes on Cedega and it was a crappy investment. CoH played MUCH better in windows... so I stopped playing CoH. I couldn't even get Guild Wars to install.

I have heard you can get World of Warcraft working with wine, somethimes easier than Cedega. I havnt tried because I lost some of the CDs. I guess it wouldnt be immoral to download them from a warez site, but Im gonna keep looking (Id rather have the CDs).

haven't tried running wow thu straight wine but i can say it works fine in Cedega 5.2 as i have it installed and the such :) anyways i will discontinue my listing as it seems as they are having issues with my computer however, if u find ones that work u can tell me via PM and i will add it to the list and of course give the person credit for finding it :)
