Seeing that this market is now ridiculously HUGE (maybe TOO huge), aren't any in development for Mac?

I know Neverwinter Nights is, but it's not really a specifically MMORPG.

Yeah, I agree, it's completely lame we don't have any good MMORPG's. ClanLord is the only existing one I can think of, and I just can't get into it's "kinder, gentler" RPG themes.

Granted, most games of this genre suck and/or don't work very well, but it's an immature field. Still, it would be really nice to play Ultima Online (considering that the old Ultima games were written for the Apple II).

I would play EverQuest if it were available fo the Mac. But, as it is, I don't want to spend that much time (these things suck up time) sitting infront of a PeeCee.

IT might not be MASSIVE, but the Baldur's Gate multiplayer patch is due out shortly...with (alleged) Gameranger support.

BG multiplayer doesn't exist in a single, persistent world. It's a crucial element for MMORPG- stuff happens when you're not logged in.

Personally, having played a little BG2, I'm inclined to just wait for that in (allegedly) July. Everything about it is better than BG1,

Not exactly an RPG but World War II Online will be massive, and in a persistant world. Comes out on June 6th so my local EB told me. I read on the site the Mac version would also be on the same CD as the PC version.

Im buying my copy right away
