I always seem to pine for something like Wizard101 or WOW after a few months of searching high and low for a LINUX game to capture my interest.

WINE is free

Crossover's based on WINE, but way less of a hassle to get something working (especially if there is already a "crosstie" for the program you wish to install). It automates a lot of steps you have to do by hand with WINE.
