wine users - Aug 2010 - Please help me run these games on linux

ok I just had my windows hardrive attacked by viruses and now that harddrive is
dead till I can fix it..

so I'm back on linux, and I would liek to play some of my favorite windows
games on my linux machine (thus doing away with my need for the god aweful
operating system in the first place)

so, heres a list of Games I'd like to see be put on the fun todo list for
attempting to get them running without flaws.

http://us.ncsoft.com/en/city-of-heroes/ (city of heros/ city of villains MMORPG)

http://grandfantasia.aeriagames.com/ (Grandfantasia, an anime oriented 3D MMO
RPG game like World of war craft)

http://www.exteel.com/us/ (Exteel MMORPG mech warrior game)

Browse http://appdb.winehq.org/ for your games and read the test reports. If you
find issues with them, file bugs with terminal output.

Trash can the drive.  Then install Linux with Wine on another one.

Our Applications Database is a wonderful place to start looking.

Second, Google is always your friend for getting hints and tips.  I will 
caution that adding a bunch of dll files usually does not work.  Simple 
is usually the best.

If any of these games requires .NET, winetricks and possibly Mono is the 
best solution (especially for .NET 3.5 or higher, they will NOT install 
on anything other than Windows.)
