an active petition has formed to have blizzard create a linux-client. i know such petitions have not been very helpful in other MMORPG's, but who knows with Blizzard. they have experienced linux developers/porters working for them, they run linux on their game's server, and returned emails about linux-inquires stating that they are "watching the development of linux"

in 2 weeks they have gotten over 1000 additional signatures...sorry for the shameless advirtising, but it would be helpful to get a few extra signers

anyone have any insight has to how successful the port might be, expecially when it is known that it runs fine in winex? i think that knowledge harms the chances, but that's just me :-/
