Hello,
Curious to know if any of you Linux power users could make a guestimate if the Eve client would run on the Pi. Question

Unfortunately it will not because this is an ARM CPU. All wine does on Linux is to provide the libraries and environment in order for windows programs like EVE to run, but it does not emulate the CPU. Eve still needs a x86 compatible CPU in order to run.

However, wine should work on ARM and there is also QEMU which could emulate the CPU. So if you have enough time and enthusiasm i would be glad to be proven wrong Lol

It will never run EVE fast enough to play. CPU emulation is slow. The arm cpu is not exactly blazingly fast. The video chipset is so so, and you would not be able to access from QEMU in any event. It really only suitable for a basic desktop and web browser, and honestly it's gear more towards being used for embedded systems.
