WoW to Linux: BAN!
Linux users beware: Playing WoW on Linux may get your account banned. The latest security sweep from Blizzard has been mistaking people who play WoW through software like Cedega as people who use third party software to automate gameplay aka: botters.
The account closure notice:
This account has been found to have employed third party software designed to automate many aspects of the World of Warcraft game play experience. Such software runs contrary to the essence of World of Warcraft and provides an advantage over other players. In addition, use of this software can lead to exploitation and destabilization of the World of Warcraft server economy. As such, this account has been closed and will not be reopened under any circumstances. The recurring subscription on the account has been disabled to prevent further charges.
More info in the TransGaming.org forum post.
Despite many Cedega users being banned, the official word from Blizzard is that Cedega was not the cause of the ban. According to them, not all Cedega accounts were banned. More about this in the WoW Forums.
