Playing WOW on Ubuntu.
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to play WOW if I am running Ubuntu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Do you have to use a program like WINE to play WoW under Linux?

Go to the Ubuntu Forums: www.ubuntuforums.org. They should be able to tell you if it can or can't be done.
