I don't have an install of your linux distro to test but some very basic things that may be worth checking: -start the game using WoW.exe, not the 'launcher.exe' that Blizzard prefers, some systems have trouble with the launcher. -try adding the opengl tag when you start, some systems will have trouble without it specified, for example to start my game is : wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe" -opengl -if your wine config settings for the version of Windows say Windows XP try changing it Windows 98. If this works to play the game you may need to temporarily change it back to 'XP' on patch days long enough for new patches to apply then go back to '98' for game play. -if your wine config is set to OSS sound try switching to Alsa, or if it's Alsa try OSS. Even if your system isn't set up for the other sound try changing it and see if the game itself runs, then you can get the sound working afterward if so. I have no idea why, but some people will have sound issues that cause the game to hang on loading screens.
