I’m interested in a mac version of twinity. This looks so interesting.

This blog entry essentially announces your virtual world will be a blip at best. It’s like coming to the WWW and announcing your web site will only load with Internet Explorer. At best you will do what others do - at some point you WILL realize you need the Mac client and you will toss together some poor “port”. You’d think this lesson would have been learned by now. tsk tsk

@ Katheryne, there have been a few people who have tried using Wine, but not successfully yet. See http://sered-sl.blogspot.com/2008/05/eve-online-and-twinity-on-wine-almost.html for more information on one member’s attempt.

From the Metaversum side, we’re still investigating it and I’m afraid we haven’t reached any decision yet. -jeremy

I don’t have a Mac; rather, I am running Linux on my computers. I am interested in knowing if Metaversum will be developing a client for Linux the way Linden did for Second Life. If not, will it at least run on Linux under Wine?

@Kathleen, you’ve been added to the list. Regarding your experiences with VMWare, they are similar to some of our tests with technologies in this area. It was disappointing to us as well. -jeremy

Please add my name to the list of those interested in the mac.

Also, I’ve looked through the forums, but I don’t see any information on using the beta in VMWare - my pc specs seem to match the Twinity requirements, but I have not been able to connect - it crashes every time before I ever get to login or anything. Very disappointing.
