Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG for Macintosh - Help us get noticed!

its all written extremely Microsoft specific... more idiot programmers got jobs.

EDIT:
its not just the programmers... some of them aren't idiots, its mainly management who are idiots.

I have my W7 partition ready to go for this game but if it was available on OSX I would much rather play it there, even if someone gets a port working that uses one of those wrappers it could be good as long as the game ran well enough at nice settings!

I believe the new resume features in lion will actually get me to use boot camp a lot more.

I guess I need to read about resume. What does it do in a nutshell regarding boot camp?
Thanks!
 
I wish this was Mac OS native too,

Cost of Collectors Edition of the game £129.99 (paid in full yesterday, early access code entered into SWTOR site)

Cost of Windows 7 now got to be added so i can install bootcamp

Hope this game looks good on a i5 27inch 2011 iMac with the 2gb 6970

Nothing, but being able to log out at any time and know you can "resume" from where you left off later is very helpful. Usually I wouldn't install updates until I finished with every web page I had open etc, now I just restart it and resume it again once installed.
 
Ahem...

BioWare is looking into the possibility of bringing Star Wars: The Old Republic to the Mac platform.

Speaking to Massively, the firm's co-founder Greg Zeschuk explained that while it's not yet possible for Mac users to play the MMO the team is looking into it.

"We've done a lot of Mac ports before of our games. We haven't announced any details yet for The Old Republic, but we know that's an important and large audience," he stated.

"That's definitely one of the things we're looking at next. We want to get this launch under our belt and everything stabilised and happy, and then we'll look at other platforms, and that's obviously one of the first ones."

Zeschuk also hinted to Joystiq that users should expect iOS and Android developments in the future for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

"We did that iOS Mass Effect Galaxy thing really early. We said, 'We should just try this and see what happens.' And we learned something from it."

Star Wars: The Old Republic released December 20 in Europe and North America.

Besides that, I have a friend who is playing the game on his year-old MBP via Windows XP in Boot Camp. I'm not sure which settings he is playing on, but he gets anywhere from 20-35fps.
