Hope I didn't get anyone's hopes up with you thinking there's a Mac version! No, I am just dying to know if it's at all possible to get EQ to run under VPC. Does anyone know? Has anyone tried? Experiences, comments, help!

Probably not...most 3D games don't run at all under VPC...unless you have a Voodoo card and VPC3 which had some Voodoo drivers, but you'd also want a fast computer and *even* after all that trouble, a game such as EverQuest would run very slowly.

I tried it on my iBook 500. It doesn't work well at all. You attempt to load EQ and you can hear the drive churning but nothing ever happens (well, I gave up after 10 minutes)....

So... anyone want to hear about the guy who blew his head off with a shotgun becausse of everquest? Pictures?

I prefer games that have some sort of end and yet good replayability.

Some people enjoy having a character that you can constantly change and interacting in a huge world where every other player is real. I would, but I don't want to pay monthly for it.

That guy who killed himself, though -- he was just pathetic. He killed himself by his own choice. "Games don't kill people."

You think they care if I don't know **** about EverQuest but still want to help beta test?
