EverQuest coming to OS X
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
July 18th 2002
Sony moves to strengthen its on-line offerings for the Mac
Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has announced that its flagship product, EverQuest, is
coming to the Mac. SOE became an official online gaming developer for the Mac in
January and has made its top games at The Station, such as Wheel of Fortune Online and
Jeopardy! Online, available to the more than 25 million Mac users.
"Supporting the Mac platform is a logical step towards growing our online community
and building the most complete, interactive experience for gamers," said Scott
McDaniel, vice president of marketing, SOE. "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."
"Mac OS X is awesome for playing games that involve fast-paced, high-end 3D graphics
and visual effects because the most robust graphics technologies are built right into
the operating system''s core," said Ron Okamoto, vice president, worldwide developer
relations, Apple. "EverQuest is a hugely successful game that delivers cutting-edge
character development and player interaction. We''re thrilled that EverQuest will take
advantage of Mac OS X''s advanced capabilities and provide a wonderful experience for
our gamers."
In the Spring of 2003, Mac users can purchase the original EverQuest and the
top-selling expansion packs including: The Shadows of Luclin, The Ruins of Kunark and
The Scars of Velious. EverQuest, the world''s most successful massively multiplayer
online game, is one of the largest fantasy worlds ever created online. During peak
periods, close to 100,000 adventurers and dragon slayers have explored the world of
Norrath online, simultaneously. The active global EverQuest subscriber base is
comprised of players from various countries throughout the "real" world, including the
US, England, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Germany, France, Italy and Australia.
The Station is the official provider of EverQuest, with software updates and news
about the game, message boards and other community features, as well as an easy-to-use
billing system for EverQuest''s monthly subscription fee of $12.95.
