My wow account was hacked and since i logged in more from ubuntu than windows i wanted to ask if it is possible a keylogger to be installed through wine and if it could start automatically to monitor the system each time linux starts or each time i start some wine application. By the way i used antivirus to scan linux and wine directories and nothing was found

If they get keys in some other way (LL_HOOK for example) then yeah they could work I guess. I never heard of key logger for Linux. But don't see any major problems with writing one. There are number of ways how to receive all key events. However they all disabled by default in most distros.
Im asking cause my wow account was hacked. so i spend all day scanning and trying to find if there was a leak in my system that lead to this. So far i found nothing of such but is hard to believe that 8char password could be broken by hacker just by brute force. Guessing is out of the question cause the password has no meaning or word reference.

lol most of this things are social engineering scams and im 100% certain that i havent said my wow password nowhere
8 char password actually is _NOT_ that hard to break by brute force. http://www.lockdown.co.uk/?pg=combi
Another possibility would be that you clicked some "evil" external link on the official WoW forums that (afaik) use the same login as the game. That linked page would use javascript to extract your login cookie and getting your password in some way. I think that only worked with IE though.
