I hope someone, who knows Wine well, can download the client from the link, run the game (past the login) and see if it's platinum rating still or not. I will be waiting eagerly for feedback, thanks.
Do your own work, you might learn something new in the process.
That kind of statement does nothing for me and you'd have done me a huge favor by not posting at all. I'm sorry if that comes off as rude but if I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be asking for help.
For anyone who is willing to help me out; I ran Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS through a liveusb, installed Wine there and ran the game's setup. However I came across error with launching it. I didn't note it down but I can go back and repeat steps to get it if necessary.
Also, asking people to do something that sounds like you're quite capable of testing yourself on a proper install is likely to get a backlash. It's generally better to ask if anyone has tried it, not to ask people to do it for you.
Anyway I tried it and it doesn't seem to work on a fresh Wine install. Don't know why and don't have time to look into it further.
In any case thank you for trying on your system. I'll let you know if I can manage to make it work, I doubt it though as I am not that capable as you may think. Thanks once more!

Don't have any idea. If anyone is interested in pursuing this good luck.
Regardless of how things turned out, thanks for your feedback on the error tuubi. If I get chance to tackle the error I will at least know where to start.

If the game runs DirectX 9 or lower it is almost certain that it would work through wine with propper configuration, I suggest playing with it on PlayOnLinux (making wine bottles and trying them out). Some of common dependencies you want to install are .NET Framework (version depends on the year of the game), vcrun (version also depends), d3dx9 package.
I hope that you will find a way to make it work.
Initially I thought WINE itself was enough to run games. But if we need to install other packages through Winetricks then I think that's possibly what's hindering the game from running, as I need .NET 3.5 and 4.5.
As a way to get help with what Im doing wrong ill go through commands.
Make a 32bit prefix:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/
If I understand correctly this will create the prefix folder "win32" in current users home directory among the other folders such as documents, downloads, desktop etc.
Second step, use the prefix:
export WINEPREFIX=~/win32
wine winecfg
Is this correct? I tried and failed badly many times now. I don't have access to a Linux pc atm but the challenge to make this game run has made me determined to try once again.
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine32" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot
This creates a new wine prefix in the directory "wine32" in your home. You can use whatever name you want for the directory of course. Then any time you want to run wine (or winecfg) using that prefix, prepend WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine32" to your command line like this:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine32" wine winecfg
You can only select the prefix in the winetricks UI if you create it under ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/ I think, but just run winetricks in the same way as wine above to use the 32-bit prefix as default. I hope this helps.
