Yeah, I haven’t updated this in a while. I’ll revisit this concept eventually.
I haven’t really decided what I should focus on this July, August, September. I’ll keep this post updated.
Continued from 2013 second-quarter immersion.

World of Warcraft + Linux (Wine) >
I used this back in the day, and had pretty good results. I ended up switching to Windows, mostly for this game.

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.
Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.
Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).

Windows-specific notes on World of Warcraft performance improvements.
These notes were written, I believe, when playing with World of Warcraft on Windows XP.

Path of Exile – (2013 game) >
When I first got into Path of Exile – (2013 game), I did not use Windows (at the time I had access to Windows XP).
Using Wine was a significant project. Others had, even during my months of experimentation, reported they had things running just fine. I did have it running fairly well, but not well enough for me at the time. This ultimately lead to my abandoning using Wine at my earliest opportunity. I might have tried PlayOnLinux or codeweavers, and I might have even paid for it, but using Windows was easy enough once I dual-booted into it.
