I can't justify paying the fan-boy price for the same hardware I can get elsewhere for cheaper. Also MacOSX isn't enough to justify the premiums.

Poor you, you aren't a unique little snowflake anymore

Bow before the might of blizzard and take it.

no shit, so shut the fuck up

DAMN IT!!!! too late

Was what I wrote so hard for you to comprehend? Or do you people always reply with Lol... wut? when you want to sound witty but have no clue how to respond properly? I at least want a proper discussion.

So let me elaborate for those that need a little more explanation. World of Warcraft Beta came out in late 2004, Apple switched to Intel hardware in 2006. That explains the first part of my sentence.

Now what I mean by lame, is I liked the idea of PPC architecture for the sole fact it was different that a regular PC. Performance wise at the time it was hands down better than Intel hardware, the only drawback to PPC architecture was power consumption. It couldn't be scaled down easily for laptop use. Which is the big reason why they switched. Back then I could justify paying more for something different. I can't justify paying the fan-boy price for the same hardware I can get elsewhere for cheaper. Also MacOSX isn't enough to justify the premiums.

Lol.... wut?

WoW came out before Macs decided to get lame. Once Apple switched to Intel hardware I lost any small shred of interest I had in Apple computers.

i prefer the dualboot hackpro myself, turns windows into the only thing it's good/mediocre at: a gaming console.

"Once Apple switched to Intel hardware I lost any small shred of interest I had in Apple computers. "

Because they started to work better?

My main problem with macs is they are so freaking expensive for the money.

Thats why I like the hackintosh solution, pick up a $200 netbook, get mac osx for $25 and bang done. None of that "our cheapest laptop is $1000 and we don't do netbooks" crap from apple

Maybe he likes using inferior CPUs for twice the price?

Blizzard has balls with this, although this is not even close to how lame the world region blocks are in starcraft 2.

WoW came out in the 1980s?

Bah, older Macs were lame before Mac OS X existed. After that, they got better with its Mac OS X and looks. I love its BSD engine and command line!

Attempting to run the game after the update will bring up a message stating the hardware is no longer supported, and the game will not run.

WHAM!

Haven't you heard? Blizzard is the man, trying to keep everyone down...

BAM!

The Circle of Blizzard Claim is now complete! BEHOLD!

Agreed Grumpy. That said, I pity anyone playing WoW on a PPC mac at this point. Perhaps they should save up for a new mac with 2 year old video tech.

I didn't even think it supported PPC. I thought it was always Intel Macs.
