Well, after years of resisting, it looks like I will finally get my chance to play. When I checked my mail just a bit ago there was an email that started out like this:

You have been selected as one of the first participants in the EverQuest Macintosh Edition Beta test. If you are receiving this email, you are part of a group of people who will be the initial testers in the game. The feedback from this early group will be very valuable to us in deciding how to expand the test and focus our efforts from here, so we appreciate your participation. Please keep in mind that the product is going to have some bugs and issues at this point, and that is part of the nature of being in a beta test - if you'd rather wait for the completed product and not be subject to occasional unexpected results, we understand. Just let us know.

Should be interesting. I've never played the game at all, so I will really be just starting out. It's downloading now.
