Noble citizens, we bring you glad tidings from the city of Paragon. For on this day, those who staunchly refuse to give up their beloved Macs for more MMO choice have a new (native) game to play! Word has come down from the folks at NCsoft that the City of Heroes Mac client has gone gold and is available for all you hip caped crusaders to download. No more will you have to mess with flipping over to the evil tyrrany of Windows to get your crime-fighting on! As if that weren't enough to make you jump gleefully into the Mac client, you will also get an exclusive Valkyrie costume set and (here's the good stuff) a mission teleporter that will allow you to port directly to the door of your active mission. Say bye-bye travel time - and be the envy of all your non-Mac CoX playing friends.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, those Very Silly People at NC NorCal have produced a very special video for the Mac fans in the house. Of course, anyone who owns a Mac (or a TV for that matter) has undoubtedly seen a similar video, but it took the City of Heroes & City of Villains developers to put this particular spin on it. Curious? You can check out their new video behind the cut!

Hopefully this should bring an influx of new blood to the game, should Apple decide to promote it as well.
Also, I really like the disclaimer at the bottom. "Mouths and eyes were animated for this video because it made it look cooler." XD

This is always good news. Does anyone know if Turbine will be doing this for LOTRO? I have a friend who I want to get into the game but he will only use a mac. He's not the type to dual boot and all that.

Unfortunately they seem to have no plans for it. Honestly, I don't understand it... Certainly there's less people playing games on Macs, but it seems worth the investment.

If I was a marketer for any of the big MMO companies, I would insist of taking the time and money to develop an apple version because it's such a game starved market.

Great ad. I wish they would take a chance on advertising on TV to possibly reach a new and larger audience.
