Now that we have a working intel based client without need of Rosetta, any chance of getting a PC based client?

I have a mac that its sole purpose is to play eq mac, but I'd jump on quite a bit more if it were on my PC. I bet we'd see a good spike in population numbers if a PC client existed as well.

Please, no.

Lol, please, no? Why?

I'd love to pop up an instance of eqmac at Work, or various other uses for it. Having a PC Client would only help the server. There is a huge demand for how EQ mac is "stuck" in the PoP era. Possibly the best era to be stuck in, having a PC client would bring in countless new folks that don't want to deal with the EMU crowd. I think Al'kabors vetern players would welcome the new players as they have always been so supportive in the past. I know when I logged into Al'kabor I've enjoyed the server and community. It brought me back to the "Golden Era" of EQ, and I'd just like more people to experience it. I know many of my friends would love to join up, but don't like OS X or Mac Computers. (Which frankly I've never understood why PC users bash mac and Mac users bash PC, I think both serve there purpose.)

I'll see Lana's no and raise her one!

Because then it's only a matter of time until we start becoming a PC server.

I think SoE knows they will never update or release new expansions on Al'Kabor, its pretty obvious that it will never become a PC Server. I'm sure Hobart, and Utdean would head this off at the pass. I also read the PC forums and there is a huge push for a classic EQ type server that SoE could easily make Al'kabor. Hobart is already cleaning up the old bugs, and why not display Al'kabor to the 90% of the computer population that has PCs?

Its a wonderful server that should have more players. The population is a bit light and I think a PC client would give it the population that it deserves. I don't box and the downside to Al'kabor is the population.

Most who play here think it's only a wonderful server because of said population.

No. Just no. Not going to try to justify my opinion. Not going to argue anything. Just going to say no.

I'll add a no thank you to the list of no's

For me it is really a question of "no" or "hell no!". I choose the latter. My biggest concern would be macro quest popping up, but there are other things that would worry me too.

If the ONLY consequence of making a PC client was a population boost I would say YES. But the other possible consequences that other people have talked about scare me.

No.

Wow, didn't expect so many No's, I thought it would help the server longevity, but I do agree with the one poster that said hacking programs could come in and ruin things. Didn't think about that, but it would be pretty awesome to have a cross-platform gateway to EQ that wasn't ruined by the hackers. Suppose Blizzard is the only one that can pull that off lol.
