Universal Linux Launcher 0.7 (ULL) can currently handle: Auto Assault, Dungeon Runners (incl PTS), Tabula Rasa, Lineage, Lineage 2 (incl Test Server), City of Heroes (incl EU & Test), Guild Wars and Exteel. Not all these games work under wine but support exists for when they do.
NCSoft are the makers of quite a few MMORPGs, while most of them feature standalone patching NCSoft has started to use a universal launcher to take care of patching.

The NCSoft launcher relies on .NET 2.0 which wine can't handle well just now so a temporary solution is needed until wine and .NET 2.0 work well together. ULL is that solution, each of the supported games can be uniquely configure (including separate WINEPREFIXs).

To compile the launcher you will need Mono installed, further information is available in the README file.
