I just noticed that EQ is available for MAC now but I only play EQ2. Is there a possibiblity of EQ2 being available for MAC in the near future? I hope so. Any insight would be appreciated.

Wow.....that all makes sense. Thanks for the insight. Kind of sucks because I recently bought a MAC and it runs 10 times smoother than my PC. I think they should consider finding a way since more and more p[eople are converting to MAC like myself.

I play EQ2 on my iMac. If your mac is intel based you can do this with "Bootcamp" from apple: <a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2006/apr/05bootcamp.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/pr/library/200...05bootcamp.html</a> Very easy to understand and get running. Hope this helps!
