Excellent game, but only starting beta (12 March 2003)

I play EQ for the PC, and it is the best game ever made. I recently switched to a Mac, and I don't think EQ will be out for some time. I just singed up for the beta test today (12 March 2003). It's worth the wait though.

GREAT

I can't wate for this game to come out! I have played it before at my buddies house, and man is it ever addctive. Think of Lord of the Rings only video game style, and you can go anywhere and do anything! ... it says that all expansions up to Planes of Power come with EverQuest mac, but the official site says that EverQuest mac does NOT come with Planes of Power.
Funny....look at the picture of the box. Along the bottom, you see a string of pictures. The one on the far right is part of the cover art for Planes of Power. Maybe there was a typo on the official site where they neglected to write in Planes of Power.

Oh well, BUY THIS GAME YOU WILL LOVE IT.

There is a reason they call it Evercrack

This is the most addicting game I've ever played, and with the recent confirmation that the expansion Planes of Power will be included with the launch product it will be even better than originally expected.

A perfect mix

Everquest is the game that Mac role-playing fans have been waiting for. Think Diablo improved. In Everquest choose from 1 of 14 races and 1 of 15 classes. Travel alone or in groups through new fantasy worlds fufilling multitudes of quests and burying your enemies in Everquest.

how many expansions?

Everquest guarantees hours of addictive entertainment and an extremely loyal fan base, and there is no reason to believe this will be any different for Mac users. The one question I have is that on the Sony website, it states that that Mac version will originally come out with expansions up to the Shadows of Luclin, not Planes of Powers. That is significant, insofar as Planes of Power allows the new player to travel around Norrath much more quickly. I guess we will have to wait on this one...

Lousy Support

Never could get the game to run properly. Months of technical support contacts who could never figure out what was wrong. Wouldn't even refund my purchase price. SONY sucks. Will never buy another product from them. Good Luck with this one.

Come back!

Sony has Started actual darn support on this game. After the Summit meeting Khama has talked to Smedley and they hope to fix all of the bugs as time goes on. With Sound and Planar Access being the most important. However this will take anywhere from weeks to 4 months because they need to hire people who know something of Macs. Some bugs will be fixed quickly though. and A test server will be attached. The game will be Up to date as far as PoP and will actually be a worthwhile game to play. PIck it up. Join the community at EQmac.com and have some fun!

Questionable worth

There are several flaws to Sony's release for the Mac. First, you're only playing against other Mac users. This can be good or bad. You aren't dealing with seasoned players, yet you have to wait if you really want the "community" feel since you're lucky to run into more than a half-dozen players in a sitting. Second, the interface is slightly different than on a PC version, so you'll notice some changes if you have already been addicted to the PC version. Third, Sony has an "on again, off again" policy with regards to whether or not they will continue supporting and upgrading this game. Is it addicting? OH YEAH! Is it fun? Mostly. But it leaves you quaking in your boots wondering about the worth. My wife and I would love to play together, but she's on a Windows computer. We'd even love to play EQII when it comes out, but my main computer is a Mac. Oh well. WARNING: To those detail inclined, this is a HIGHLY addictive game with lots of puzzles (tradeskill recipes being the largest collection of them), skills, and gameplay variation dependent on races and classes, good luck ripping yourself away every evening to get some amount of sleep.

The most popular MOG comes to the Mac

After a few years of the Macintosh gaming community yelling at Verant, now SOE, Sony has finally released EverQuest for the Macintosh. The game is a direct port of EQ, with the exceptions of repaired NPC player models which did not function correctly under the new engine. Mac only servers are being created for the game, so all users will begin on an even playing feild, a refreshing change as compared to most MOGs. Fewer servers will be created inorder to ensure a better play enviroment, and with more than a few years experience under their belts, SOE should be able to create a more realistic world for Mac users. If nothing else, Mac users get the added bonus of receiving every expansion released for EQ at once.
