I would appreciate any help and advice. You'll need a fast G4 or better IMHO. Better yet pick up an old fast G3 iMac and run it in classic on that. We should be thankful it was ported to OSX in the first place :-) Regards, Jamie Kahn Genet -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

But I kind of drifted away from computer games around the time the game was actually released, so I can't tell you how well it lived up to its promise, or if it still has a good community (which is very important for a MMORPG). But I do know what it is, if that's any help...

What I did was save the game, then quit. i relaunched it but instead of using RAVE or Glide graphics, I used the built in software to generate the graphics. I don't really otice a difference in graphics quality, plus it runs sooooo much faster and smoother, especially when there's hoarde's of enemies around, which would normally slow it down in RAVE.
