Alabama Gamers?

[azzk]

Having just stumbled onto this group (I'm in Huntsville, by the way), I figured I'd put in my two cents, er, games.

Lately, I've been playing Neverball and some Cube. I spent awhile back playing Tremulous and have played some Nexuiz. Neverball is addictive and I really like the philosohpy behind Tremulous. It feels like Starcraft meets Quake.

Cedega is really good at least when it comes to wow. I had no idea wow would play so smooth! I'm needing windows less and less everyday. Does anyone know of any other games cedega will play as good as wow?

[azzk]

I understand that WoW works decently under Wine without Cedega. Probably hardware dependent, though.

Personally, I'd rather use CrossOver given that they strongly support Wine and contribute code back to the community, (and I believe WoW works well under CrossOver) while it's my understanding that Cedega simply builds upon a proprietary fork of Wine (back before Wine was GPL it was MIT/BSD licensed) and doesn't contribute code back to the Wine project. Nor can it use current Wine code and improvements, because they require distributing source. As a result, people say that Cedega is "a hack built upon a hack." Don't know what that implies from an end user standpoint.

Anybody tried CrossOver?

I ran WoW in wine, as well as CoD and CoD|UO. I haven't really messed with Cedega to much. Although I would like to run FEAR in it.

I can give you a good run down on Cedega, been using it since the early days. I run WOW, Guild Wars, Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Siege II, Diablo II, Tribes, and Rubies of Eventide on it right now. I every so often (when a new version rolls out) load some games like Freelancer and a few others to see if they work. Now natively I run NeverWinter Nights, Planeshift, Regnum Online, Doom3, UT 2004, and a few others.

Does anyone play WOW on a public server?

Nvm I'll just pay for it instead. I've heard some allow hacking.

I ran it fine under Wine on Edgy. But quit playing before moving to Feisty. I don't remember a lot of "hacking" though.

I play sauerbraten some, and Alien Arena 2007. Wow runs great under the new cedega. Runs well in wine to, i just like the cedega interface better. *south alabama*

I was told hacking can be easy on some of the free or private servers out there. Like these ....http://www.wowscape.net/?act=Servers
