Codeweavers, which makes the "crossover" suite of commercially-supported 
Wine implementations, has a gamers' version. I notice that both both WoW 
and EvE are explicitly supported, though with a few bugs. And the $40 
one-time price would be less expensive than the Cedega subscription. 
They make a free trial available you you can test the suitability out 
for yourself.

Or, there's always the completely free version of Wine, which after what 
seemed like a decade of beta is now at V1.1.12. Both WoW and EVE have 
their own entries in the Wine compatibility database:

WoW: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154

EVE: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9971
