World of Warcraft patch 1.8

Posted by Jacob Emcken

After the 1.8.0 patch World of Warcraft doesn’t work for me again. I’m unable to click on things ingame :-( (This applies to the latest 1.8.1 patch too).

This sucks because now I have to boot into Windows again.

Anyways, I have played alot the last few weeks and have become level 53. I might hit level 60 before Christmas… YEAH! I’m not going to set higher goals… my girlfriend might not like it ;-)

I have been reading more on the items and quests in the game, and I’m begining to realize that I wont ever get near some of the really cool stuff :-(

You should aim for a higer goal, which translates into aiming for level 60. I thought at first that it was impossible to reach 59, and now that i’ve reached that level, I’m going to be saving every game I play with WOW. Good luck to us all.

I just bought WoW, and I’m glad to find out that I’m not the only one who can’t play it under Linux. Unfortunately, I am too poor to be able to afford a dedicated webserver (I can’t even justify the $20 cost of a real domain name to myself), so I have to make the tough choice between playing WoW and my website being up =[.

I guess my website's going down =].

I know that there is a patch out there to get WoW running with normal WINE… though you have to patch and compile yourself :-(

But it is doable if you put some energy into it ;)

With the latest version of Wine no patches is needed. I’m running Ubuntu Edgy and Wine Ubuntu packages from Wine HQ’s site. Still a few quirks with sound and mouse buttons… but its running alright.

btw on winehq.org you can find guides for different applications including a guide to get World of Warcraft to work with Wine.
