Did you write to ArenaNet and tell them that you want Guild Wars for
Linux? Here is their contact page:
http://www.arena.net/contact.php

Let them know that you use Linux and that you would like to play their
game. If we start writing to the software houses, then they will
realize that there is a market for their products under Linux.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
