Solution 1

Go to software center, install playonlinux, and then once it's installed and you open it from your menu (or alt+f2), click install

choose games, and find your WoW version to install =).

Then follow the on screen instructions. If you get further problems the best place to look is the forums on winehq.org

Solution 2

Yes, it is possible. First Download and install(by double clicking) PlayOnLinux then open PlayOnLinux (Applications -> PlayOnLinux) and click install.

Then select Games -> World of Warcraft and follow the on-screen instructions.

I've been trying to do this on different ubuntu I even tried on Mint. Tried Playonlinux, trial of crossover and just Wine 1.6.2 and Wine 1.7 can anyone give me some assistance. I'm new to linux

after installing you should launch World of Warcraft with the flag "-opengl". Example "wine Wow.exe -opengl" or "wine Launcher.exe -opengl"

@TheDarktonik playonlinux already configures the wine registry to use opengl :)

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
