You can get a free 30 day key (and a free download, if you don't mind the 2GB download).

I can't provide a pointer here, but if you google for "everquest macintosh free key" you should get our server forums at the top that has the post with instructions. You should get a response in just a couple of days, and get a chance to try the game for free.

There are also forums there, where you can ask questions, talk with people playing, etc.

There are many of us still playing and enjoying the game. If you're tired of Warcraft and want to try a game that's more engaging, if you miss your EverQuest days on PC, or if you have a Mac and are tired of the twinked, overcamped, spawn race, farmed, exploited game that is the PC EQ world.... you should check us out.

We only have up to Planes of Power (original EQ, Kunark, Velious, Luclin and PoP expansions), but arguably that is one of the last solid EverQuest expansions.

Many of the original issues at launch (Hollowshade War script, tier2+ pop not being accessible, spells not being available) have been fixed.

We have a part-time coder, a part-time GM (although she's more absent than we'd like), a guide program (volunteers who run quests/events and answer questions), and a tech support rep who goes above and beyond the call of duty for us.

If you have a Mac, give us a try -- it's free, and we're arguably the best online gaming community you will find anywhere.

It's the Mac Community

The biggest selling point for EverQuest (Mac) is that the server and system requirements are Mac only. I don't know if it is due to the restriction of the community size, or if there really is a personality difference between Mac and PC gamers, but the EQMac community is far more helpful, friendly, and family-oriented than the PC only or even the mixed communities like WoW and Shadowbane.

I gave WoW a shot, but the lack of content at the high-end, the terrible spam and juvenile language in the chat channels drove me away. I find the rich, depth of content of Everquest and the more mature environment of the Mac version far more preferable.

Be warned, though. Everquest is a "harder" game than WoW or Shadowbane. It will take you longer to level, and even getting to the top zones in the game takes years of work with a committed guild. The game is less populated, so finding groups is more of a challenge.

Needless to say, I love the game. I have been playing it since the Beta in early 2003, and see no signs of quitting. No other game I have has lasted as long.

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.

This game far exceeds anything i ever played online. And unlike other games this one does not grow old and gets discarded like other Computer games in the Past has.

The Server is small but growing. Bugs use to be several bugs. But many of them has been addressed and Fixed. (their a few outstanding Issues but we have confidence that they will be address soon)

If you enjoy Fantasy settings or ever Play Dungeons or Dragons give this Game a look it now. You May be surprised

Take a look it free to test out the waters And can get the Info for your free Keys At EQMAC.COM (Also a good place to learn more about the Game)

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...

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.

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.

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.
