Dowloading WoW help

Asked by Valter

I am downloading WoW. I love Ubuntu but i cant seem to get my favorite game without downloading it a certain way.
I am not using the installation discs i am downloading WoW off the WorldOfWarcraft site. Do i just download it then add it to WINE and then it will run from there? Thank you for your help in advance its much appreciated!!!

You could try loading the app called PlayOnLinux which makes installing WoW easier.

So i tired it without the installation discs and it didnt work right. PlayOnLinux uses the discs in which i fouks and now am going to revert to wine 1.1.26 and see if it cant run on there i would like to seek further help and avice i am very new to Ubuntu and Linux altogether so i would love any additional help. I love ubuntu so far but WoW is a must have. I tried running it thru PlayOnLinux with the newest version of WINE and it didnt work.
