Any really good Mac MMORPG's?

I am playing WoW right now and was wondering if there were any other really good MMORPG's for the Mac.

 

Any thoughts are appreciated.

    This topic comes up every now and then, and is usually met with a degree of very anti-mac people. 

    Sadly, not many developers write cross platform MMOs.  The expense and expertise needed is higher, and often not worth it to the company.  Blizzard is the exception to this however.  Others like Mythic have flat out said they have no plans on porting Warhammer to the Mac.  Maybe if the game takes off and they rival WoW's popularity will they gain the resources needed to port WAR to other OS's. 

    I personally have a MacBook Pro that I installed boot camp onto for this very reason.  With the intel processor, I can now run any current MMO via WinXP.  LOTRO, EQ2, CoH/V have all ran without problems.   Ya, it would be nice to run it natively on Mac OSX.

    Mac doesn't have enough gamers to cover the expenses.

    Strangely enough, the only other place I've run into Mac MMORPG players was in Lineage 1..... which is still going on. Too primitive for todays gamer I would think...but I had some fun with it back in the day.

    There aren't very many. Having said that, I could have sworn that Eve was coming out with a linux/mac client. If not, then I DID read something about a few of the larger games (maybe those that are up and coming) that will allow mac players.

    However, I do know of people who use bootcamp with great success. So, if you have an Intel mac then that might be a way to go.
