[BLUG] WoW and Wine

Just wanted to give an update. Believe it or not but I've played
World of Warcraft under Wine on Ubuntu Linux for a little over a month
now (probably played about 50 hours) and I think its only crashed once.
There also aren't any noticeable differences between running it under
Windows or running it under Linux. All the sound and graphics seem to
work ok. Its very impressive how well it works.

The only thing I haven't been able to do is I wanted to try running
this 3rd party application that uploads your data to a wiki-like site
(wowhead.com), but that wouldn't run properly under Wine.

Anyone else on the list play WoW, either under Windows or through
Wine? My character is Deltaray and he is on the Oxynia realm.
