According to Mr. Cooper's original bug report and comment 4, yes: EQ7's
phone-home activation process succeeds with either Wine 1.6 or 1.7, but the
main application crashes during startup.

I have not been able to locate a (legal/licensed) trial or demo of this
application. I have not attempted to find a cracked/"warez" copy of the
program, but assuming such exists, it may be useful for troubleshooting (since
the problem(s) doesn't appear to be connected to the license activation
process).

I have not yet attempted to replicate these results myself, because (1) EQ's
licensing/activation rules make it impossible to test under Wine without (at
least temporarily) disabling the application on Windows, and (2) this is the
only application for which I am interested in using Wine at present, so when I
saw Mr. Gordon's report that it's broken, I didn't bother setting up a Wine
environment. I will attempt to free up a license to use for testing (on Ubuntu
AMD64 or Fedora x86_64) in the next week or two.
