I have been most fortunate, being allowed to betatest the game. Naturally, I can't tell you an awful lot, but I think most EV fans will like it very well.
The graphics are truly eyecandy, even now in beta form. There are plenty of gamers on-line even now, so there is enough to do. I do not know if it will be released for mac, but check out the game here

A nice idea about the encouraging of guilds to form. Shame about the monthly/annual fee. Battle.net is free. Tracker for Pop-pop is free. I don't think this should be charged on a monthly basis though.

Yes. I chose him out of thousands. I didn't like the others, they were all too flat.

It's also a shame that MMOGs suck away the essence of your soul.

lol! This IS an MMORPG. And now you are starting to sound like the grandmother of a friend of mine;
Cardgames, dancing and not to mention rock or pop, and even playing the violin, it is all direct doings of the devil himself.

Honestly! Do you have anything against RPGs? I will however agree that they take all your time easily...

Actually, online RPGs like EverQuest can be highly addicting. I don't touch the stuff. My family knows people whos marriages are being destroyed by it. Tough stuff man.

Indeed. My brother has been playing Ever Quest regularly for over two years. I can't see how it could possibly retain any entertainment value after all that time, especially being a game with no real story or achievable goals.

Same here. Heck, I've had to swear off MUDs because of what they do to my life - thank heaven EverQuest never got ported... I'd never be heard from again.

Everquest is coming soon to a Mac near you.

Yeah, I find that I have a horrible lack of self control, and to plop me down in front of that... Man... It's funny, because my family line has gambling and alcoholism in its genes - this seems to fit right ni (heh, that was supposed to be "in" but it's funnier that way ). I just don't go near any of the stuff because I don't want to get sucked in, as I know I will.
