    egads! Now Mac users can become mindless EQ addicts. Expect the IQ of Mac users to fall of dramatically in the years after it's release.

    Yup. Mac users will become EverCrack addicts, buying multiple machines just to run cheat programs and multiple ISPs to run more than one character at once. They'll be on eBay, buying someone's 400th level character and his castle for thousands of dollars.



    It'll be a sad day for Macdom, indeed.

    It won't work. The Mac version will have it's own servers. You can't buy PC accounts and transfer them.

    They are not network compatible because the Windows version uses Microsoft's Direct Play network protocol with is a closed standard that was designed to make it so you can play with all your friends unless you're using Windows.

    They said that they wanted everyone to be on a level playing field when the Mac version came out. They didn't want level 60 characters interacting with a bunch of level 1 or 2 newbies.



    BTW, which mod do you live within 'walking distance' of?

    Just wait until the Mac version's been around long enough for people to get high level characters on those servers.



    That's what I meant.
