I somehow stumbled across a YouTube channel of a guy playing (Flatts) and got the itch to play some EQ.

I also just got my first new computer in 10 years, and it’s a new MacBook Air. From what I’ve seen you can’t install Project99 on a Mac. Is my best method to install Windows on the Mac and go from there?

Also, are there any other fun YouTube LP style channels that anyone can recommend?

I play P99 on a 2012 era MacBook Pro and it works just fine. I use PlayOnMac which is just a frontend for Wine. I believe theres a current “how to play on a mac” forum topic too.

Heres a really old post I made with the steps. I can’t vouch for a new MacBook Air hardware and drivers so YMMV.

That being said if you have a copy of win 10 and don’t mind dual booting then you might as well go that route.

From what I can gather from checking out that thread, the current version of MacOS is Catalina, and PlayOnMac won't work on here because they disabled 32bit support.

Sounds like Windows may be my only option. Boo.

I do not remember that part of LDing at all, and I think I played until around the end of Planes of Power.

We had really terrible internet, and I remember going LD in Dreadlands soloing and loading back in to my bind all the time. When someone went linkdead they always had the whole Name (Linkdead) thing and mobs will still pound them.

For some reason every time I made a new character I always felt the urge to bring then to Kelethin, get drunk and run around. I brought a barb warrior all the way from Halas at level 4 to do this. It took me a long time to get my first character to 20 because of this. But I always had max alcohol tolerance.

I used to play a necro on Mith Marr back in the day. The Bone Knight sounds really badass.

Logging in after school and waiting an hour for an orc camp to get an open spot in EC.

I think this is why I ended up playing a necro back then. Dad will be home at 5 so I’ll have to get off the dialup when he needs to use the phone and I need to get the most out of my time.
