You need to compile wine with special patches to use WoW. Firstly, add these repos to your /etc/apt/sources.listdeb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy mainThen download the dependenciessudo aptitude install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep wineThen download the sourcesudo apt-get source wineThen patch the source (Do you still need to patch the source anyone or are the patches merged into wine now because I can't find the updated patch)chown -R YOUR_USER_NAME:YOUR_USER_NAME wine*
cd wine*
wget http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/misc/wine/wow_patch_nvidia_flicker_fix_0.9.25.diff.gz
tar zxvf wow_p*.diff
patch -p0 < wow_patch_nvidia_flicker_fix_0.9.25.diff
cd
sudo apt-get --build-source wine
and then install itsudo dpkg -i wine/wine*.deb
Now to configure wine. I use this script
wget http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/files/wine-config-sidenet-1.9.2-test2.tgz
tar zxvf wine-config-sidenet-1.9.2-test2.tgz
cd wine-config-sidenet
sh setup
Now to get the needed .dlls

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp60
Download and copy to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 (its a hidden folder)
Then copy the cd to the computer (because some have had trouble reading the files)
cp -R /media/cdrom0/* WoWinstall/ # Assuming that /media/cdrom0 is your cdrom
cp -g /media/cdrom0/Installer\ Tome\ 2.mpq WoWinstall/Repeat for each cd. Now to installwine WoWinstall/setup.exe -opengl
To run the game run wine /path/to/where/you/installed/WoW/wow.exe -opengl
