  3. Re:Cedega OK... What about wine? on Blizzard Unbans Linux World of Warcraft Players · · Score: 1

    I recently installed WOW on linux using Wine... It works great. I hope I don't get banned just because I'm using a different emulator. From the FAQ :

    2.2. Does Wine emulate a full computer?

    No, as the name says, Wine Is Not a (CPU) Emulator. Wine just provides the Windows API. This means that you will need an x86-compatible processor to run an x86 Windows application, for instance from Intel or AMD. The advantage is that, unlike solutions that rely on CPU emulation, Wine runs applications at full speed. Sometimes a program run under Wine will be slower than when run on a copy of Microsoft Windows, but this is more due to the fact that Microsoft has heavily optimized parts of their code, whereas mostly Wine is not well optimized (yet). Occasionally, an app may run faster under Wine than on Windows. Most apps run at roughly the same speed.

    There is no fact but I assume the parents bought the game for the 13-yeard old kid right?
    Isen't it their responsibility to see what their kids are doing?
