Hi,

Unfortunately they don't seem to recommend Wine, neither they announce 
Wine as a supported platform. They just drop Linux support because of 
"the lack of interest for the Linux client" that no one was using 
because the game worked far much better with Wine :)

A great thing would be that they officially support Wine.

Also, if the Mac Wine would have worked better (I know it's Apple crappy 
X11 fault and native Mac's API drivers cocoa language's fault... but 
users don't care), it's very likely that they dropped their mac "native" 
client.
