bro look at albion only. it has linux support and i found many linux users playing it. sure the numbers for windows wont match that of linux but that doesnt mean you shouldnt allow it. Many modern games support linux, just check Steam store. Linux will be considerable choice in the coming years.

Also about the API i think we should have it, even if there is something more than just prices. It will help in creating communities around bots and guilds more better.

I dont want a hack, it could be better that linux users get official support if possible. After all, if there is ready fanbase and linux users are let down that there is no port yet, a hack will be just a bummer.
Remember as there are windows noobs, so are there linux noobs and they couldnt be able to find or understand some of the methods stated in the process mentioned in the link, even though it is very informative.

Here are my suggestions, after some thought given to them:

Allow an Official API
If we have a official api, then it could lead to development of discord bots where most of the community does chat. This bots could help in showing the following information:

1. Kill/death information of a player. When a player dies, show the items he was carrying, his gear, and some stuff like how much damage dealt to the player. Idk i havent played this game yet so if you lose anything else you can show that too.
2. Prices of items in various places. This could help those doing economic stuff and lead to wiser and informed decisions by the players.
3. Alliance/Guild Info. Stuff like how large the guild is, what guilds are there in a alliance, what are the names of the players in the guilds, stats about the guilds if there are any in the game
4. Stats of Guild vs Guild fights. Name of the players, name of the guilds, the number of deaths in each side, the gears lost.
5. Top guilds. By towns, pks, player size, total player abilities, influence(idk i havent really purchased the game yet). Same for alliances
6. If the game has any events, then the name of the guilds and players who are the toppers of the events. Also find the rank of a player/guild in the event
   Also provide Icons for ingame items so that we botters can embed the images in the discord message

Allow a Linux Port
Since this game is being made with Unity, and since there is already a Mac port if I'm not wrong, please allow a Linux port too. We linux people love good games, and people will be totally ready to try out this superb game. We just need a port so that we can play it without going through the hassles of wine and stuff like Proton. Plus this will mean more user base and more players, so thats a win win.

Thats all for now, if I think of some more ideas I'll tell them here, thnx for making such a great game.
