I have a brother in law that wants to subscribe, alas he has a Mac. You are losing out on his money and many other peoples money. Make a Mac client.
Have I sufficiently degraded this image to a suitable level of crap to satisfy you? |

Bootcamp works great, yes. But not all of us are able to spend more money on a fraggin XP/Vista (shudder) disk. Although some of us are lucky enough to have the disks.
I am so used to tabbing out of EVE to go check stuff online or reply to a forum post, listen to itunes, do some other stuff while EVE is running, that just using a separate partition, a whole new operating system is a major PITA.
So, I am really hoping something will change in the next 6 months or so, and we will have a mac client.

Fascinating discovery - Apple is using a screen capture from Eve on their Games - Getting Started page.
The graphic rotates, so you may need to hit refresh a few times for it to show.

even if I get the crossover to reload eve at some point.. 20 fps, tiny window and entire ui reset (inc language) after every patch is just annoying. if not a client please please a tiny bit more support..

Just to clarify though: if you click on "Role Playing Games" you will indeed see Eve, but you'll also notice that it has the tiny "Intel" logo next to it. This indicates, essentially, that's it not a universal binary (you'd see the UB logo next to it instead) and thus is BootCamp friendly (as we all know) but it still doesn't talk to OSX directly.

Yea, many are already aware of the news mate. EVE+Mac coupling has been talked of for years, apparently. TransGaming is making an emulation platform; I am a bit apprehensive about it, to be honest. But, we shall see, it supposed to be a seamless transition/emulation, as they put it, it supposed to "wrap" EVE in Cider.
In my limited experience anything that runs an emulation, or in "wrapping" has end-user limitations on features. Usually something as simple as the resolution or screen-size limits, etc.
Anyway, it is to early to speculate on the success of Cider and how it will present EVE, one can only hope it will work perfectly.
I was hoping for a UB version of EVE.

Add me to the list of Active subscribers who want a native Mac OS X client for Intel Macs!
Anyone know a estimated release date for the Mac OS X port?
Thanks

Generally when something hits macworld it's happening (and soon).
I damn near had a heart attack when I saw the little column in the most recent issue of the magazine.
I'll officially have no reason to run windows.

Mac OSX client please! I am growing more and more tired of Microsoft and EVE is one of the only reasons I'm clinging on. Also, all of my MAC user friends are interested in EVE but refuse to run Windows to play. I'm sure I'm not the only person with friends like these. It's only a matter of time before I am fed up with Windows and switch to Mac with or without EVE. I'd hate to cancel 3 accounts because there is no Mac Client.
The Mac community is on the brink of a boom, it would be foolish to ignore them.

Bootcamp on a seperate partition has no effect on the mac. Besides running windows allows you to play a whole bunch of other games, if you are a gamer rather than just an eve addict. The cider thing sounds good because as it stands any intel mac can run eve on half of one core while doing handstands. The fabulous cost of buying Vista on its own is a total ****er though. Truely microsoft have everyone over a barrel.

Thanks to my position in a university I've not yet had to pay for a copy of Windows, which is just as well, because I'd feel awful dirty doing it. I've no problem paying for games and content on the Xbox 360, because that's a product that Microsoft did well, but the ugliness and vulnerability of Windows are just inexcusable in this century.
That said, barring CCP coding their own Mac client (anyone wanna give me odds on that?) this Crossover thing seems to be a good compromise. Or at least, it would if Crossover didn't cost $50  There are two good solutions, as I see it: CCP could buy the right to use and distribute the Crossover/Cider/WINE wrapper, or Codweavers (who make Crossover) could release their own standalone wrapper for EVE that did not require you to purchase the entire Crossover application.
Unfortunatly for the OP, neither of these would work with the PowerPC, and really, I don't see CCP investing anything in an architecture that Apple has abandoned themselves. Yes, they will continue to compile and release software for PPC machines because they still make up the vast majority of operational Macs, but the codebase to do so already exists. CCP would have to recode the EVE client from scratch, for the sake of what appears to most corporate entities a niche market, whereas the work of getting their existing client to run on Intel macs has already been done.
I'll go ahead and sign the thread, though, because if it ever happened then I would feel obligated to send CCP some sort of trophy

You can apply as an advocate on their compatibility center page (doesn't require a purchased version afaik) and you get access to all stable, nightly and beta releases for free.
Well not for free, you have to test the app you're advocating (EVE in my case), file beta reports for it and monitor the forums, but it's not a lot of work and you get CrossOver for free (without any support of course). Details
It's a pretty nice offer by the codeweavers guys.

That's an interesting offer. No reason an EVE forum warrior wouldn't be able to do some posting for those folks too
However, I think I'll wait and base all my hopes and dreams on CCP releasing a wrapped client with the next patch. That may be foolish, but hey, you gotta have a dream, right?

Eve works fine on a macbook with bootcamp.
What about those of us who would prefer to stay in OSX?
They're already planning on a new build of the client anyway. Why not use that opportunity to make something platform independant? Id, Epic, and Blizzard don't have any problems doing that...
First of all until you support Root BSD, Linux, Minix, Everythign that has EVER booted on anything, anywhere, you are NOT platform independent.
(No longer at the quoted directly)
Frankly I'm sick of hearing Mac users complain about the state of programs on their desktop. Listen, You have spectacular OOB drivers on that thing, USE Wine! there is a Wine port for MacOS which as far as I know works 1:1 with Linux. Use linux for a while _then_ complain to me about people not willing to support you for being a minority userbase. Without getting into serious Distro/OS wars.
Anyway, I want a native client too, but they best you're going to get is a Winelib build, ie the windows client built with wine to essentially become a native application, _essentially_.
There is simply no reason to ever have to duel boot for a game, if you have to, it's not worth it. Good thing you can easily run Via wine or it's Derivatives... In this case Wine, Cider, or Crossover, the latter two costing money.
