Onto a thumb drive:

Copy the EverQuest Mac (Test).app from Users/*user/Applications
Copy the EverQuest folder located in Users/*user/Library/Application Support

Place back in the proper locations on the new Mac.

Remember, if you are using OSX 10.7.x, the Library folder will be hidden.

From the Intel Mac Client thread:

Quote:

If you are running OSX Lion (10.7.x) you may not see your Library folder since it is hidden. Do one of the following to show the folder:

1. Open Terminal (application located in your Utilities folder)
Copy the following:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
and paste in to the terminal window
Library folder should now be accessible.

2. Keep the [OPTION]-key pressed and then select Go>Library from the menu bar. (Option key on a Mac keyboard, Alt key on a PC keyboard)

Nope.

The .app holds all of the zone and UI files. (Users/*user/Applications/EverQuest Mac (Test).app)

The EverQuest folder, located in Application Support, holds all of the .ini files. (Users/*user/Library/Application Support/EverQuest folder)

Just 2 things to copy, an .app and a folder.
