Following this recipe: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_functionality_on_Wine And this detail: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4496521038

After making sure the hardware requirements are satisfied, the recipe looks like this:

  • winetricks
    • install game
    • WOWTrialClient

The installer starts, but hangs when displaying "Downloading updated tools"

Cancel the installer and go to the WorldofWarcraft Temp directory Manually run the wow-4.2.1.2736-enUS-tools-Launcher.exe

Wait for the Installer/Updater to download the rest of the game.
