Comments on: Earth Eternal’s Theme Music http://forge.ironrealms.com/2006/12/05/earth-eternals-theme-music/ A blog on virtual worlds, games, and digital content, from Matt Mihaly Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:14:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Matt http://forge.ironrealms.com/2006/12/05/earth-eternals-theme-music/#comment-7591 Fri, 12 Jan 2007 22:14:28 +0000 http://forge.ironrealms.com/2006/12/05/earth-eternals-theme-music/#comment-7591 Yeah, believe me, I'd prefer to have Mac support. Mac doubled its market share this year, to about 6% of the market. Unfortunately though, just getting the game out period is what we have to focus on, and with all due respect, it's just not worth it to us at this point to expend time/money (both of which are in very short supply for us) to reach that extra 6% of users, though I realize the 6% may be functionally a bit higher due to larger penetration into the educational market, and students being big MMO players.

You just lost a VERY large group, seeing as my entire school, and most of the nearby community, runs macs. It would be wonderful if it came to Macs. I, as well, am hurt that it will not. I'll say it again. BRING IT TO MAC! Or I shall do something evil, like throwing a pie at you. No mac?

Sorry- just wandered in here in a google search for a friend, but thought it worth sharing for some reason...

The game client will be available free. Also: No elves, and no gnomes. There will be nothing to buy up front, Bob. The game client will be available free.

I've been saving this to listen until about now, and I like it. Hmm, no, I wouldn’t say the setting is Zelda-ish except insofar as it’s a fantasy environment.
