EverQuest Coming to Mac OS X

Anonymous Coward writes "EverQuest is coming to a Mac near you, as reported on GameSpot. Sony is planning to release it on Mac OS X sometime next year. You can also find details on Apple's website. Scott McDaniel, vice president of marketing for Sony Online said 'Combine the power and stability of Mac OS X with Apple's outstanding desktop systems and you've got an incredible gaming environment that'll take full advantage of EverQuest's huge and seamless 3D world.' (sounds good to me =)"

No they will not "merge the worlds." Perhaps you're not familar with the Everquest server setup. They have 20 or 30 or whatever different servers, and each server is a unique world. I mean, the geography and quests and everything is the same, but players on one server are completely and utterly seperate from players on another server. So the concerns about having to play with people who have been playing for years is moot, because you could just play on a brand new server. Also, they claim that the reason why Mac and PC players can't play together is due to "technical difficulties". Sounds like bullshit to me...

"Mac OS X EverQuest players will not be able to play against (or with) the PC players of the game, due to server incompatibilities. Also, Sony will be watching the sales of Mac EverQuest very closely, to evaluate whether ports of other titles such as EverQuest 2 and Star Wars Galaxies will be worthwhile."
