I have not played this since the downfall after the light and dark saga. I logged in once a little while back and I was not impressed. I have however been keeping an eye on the state of the game this entire time and I saw today that you are offering XP boost and stuff like that to get players come back. Which I thought was a good idea but the game also hasn't been fixed. The headaches that are involved with a Windows dual boot system is not worth it just to play this game. Figure out a way to get Linux support and maybe you will get more people like me who would actually come back on if they can do it from theyre preferred os. Just a tip I'm fine either way not playing the game but you don't need kernel level anti-cheat software for a game that has less than 3,000 people playing it now...Just a thought.

real talk... are you going to offer to pay for the dev time for what you are asking? Linux gaming is such a small market share that it is most likely more expensive to "figure it out" than not have you playing the game. You say its not worth the headache of dual boot, but proceed to want to pass the headache of supporting the game on 60 distros of an os in a trenchcoat that calls itself linux to a dev team that can barely support it on the 5-6 platforms it is already on. If you read the forums you would see that even its current state the several anticheats that are used are minimally effective, and none of them are kernal level. Truth betold if you want it to work, kernal level is the starting point, as much as I hate that level of access. Liunx as a whole makes up around 3 percent of desktop pcs, gamers using it, even less, those who want to play d2, even less, those who would actually spend money to support the game, even less. So from a cost/income perspective, there would be hundreds of hours of support/dev time spent for a fraction of a chance of return.
