  1. Good variety in Cross Platform MMORPGs now by Colazar · · Score: 5, Informative
    The ones I know are Shadowbane (which I haven't quite given up on yet), Lineage (couldn't quite bring myself to play), and the upcoming World of Warcraft (I'm sure I'll get sucked into that one somehow). Now with A Tale in the Desert that really takes care of most major MMORPG game-styles, doesn't it?

    Are there any other Cross-Platform ones out there? I don't count Mac Everquest, BTW, cause Macs and PCs can't play on the same servers.

      The Puzzle Pirates are cross-platform (since it's built on Java, presumably there's Linux support, but I've never tried it). Fun little game, with excellent concept.

  2. Re:And the download is where? by Pluribus · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sorry, guys, I wanted it to be more closed beta of the client, so I linked it only off the downloads page until I worked out some more kinks. No big deal, just wanted the best impression possible BEFORE it hitting slashdot. Alas, you guys beat me too it ... BTW, The faster downloads is via http://game.atitd.com/download.html

    Read the README for known issues with the mac client. It is still very much under development.
