    I expect we'll see an Xbox version long before a Linux version of the game. Linux just doesn't have a strong enough marketshare to make a port worthwhile -- especially something as expensive as an MMO.

    That is why I am alright with that.

    I too see an xbox release before linux if ever.

    Linux is sort of a in a hard spot, when it comes to this sort of thing, companies don't release software for it because their market share wouldn't really pay off, and people don't use it because companies don't release software on it. But if companies did start releasing software for it linux there isn't really a reason why it couldn't grow at a rapid rate.
