[mrtoretos]

to play guild wars you have to get a pay card ?

[Leartoon]

@mrtoretos No, just purchase the game once. It's free to play after that.

Hello. I also tried running GW on Ubuntu using WINE, but it runs a bit slow and suddenly exits without a warning. Does this happen to you as well?

[Leartoon]

It did with 0.9 wine, but not after upgradeing. Now there's 1.1.3 version I think... And works fine...

[youboon]

What were your framerates like? Do you think it will work with GW2?
