I play WoW a bit.  Around here, we (my SigO and I) have only gotten so
far as getting it running on Linux.  I had a machine lying around I was
going to try to get running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE not long ago, and see if
getting WoW working was as good on FreeBSD as on Debian GNU/Linux.
Unfortunately, the machine appears to have developed some hardware issues
in the couple months it lay dormant, so that project is off until:

  A. I get a new machine working,
  B. I nail down the specific issues with this one and get it working, or
  C. it becomes eas[y|ier] to get 3D acceleration working with a Radeon.

Assuming one of those things happens, I hope I remember to report back in
this thread.

Thanks for the links.
