Interesting, I didn't know they'd added an Windows/ARM build. Makes some sense though, WoW has always been one of the best about broad platform/arch support… macOS/PPC and Windows/x86 versions were both available from day one and have stayed in lockstep the whole time, and it was among the first games to make both the PPC → x86 jump and x86 → ARM jump on Macs. Have heard that they had Linux builds internally early on too.

Wine has almost always worked, back when I played.
I recall seeing that it ran better on wine than on windows on the same hardware.
Never tested myself as I'm more a runescape/ragnarok online sorta guy myself...
There was a native Linux client available when the game was still in alpha. Circa 2002/2003
Blizzard leans heavily on making sure their software is portable!
