Has any information been published by Anet stating whether a Mac version of GW2 will be created? I know I will be able to run the PC version via Bootcamp, but I'd prefer to run it native. Any info?

(note: tried searching, but search seems to be down)

IIRC, Gaile said it'd be DirectX 9/10 compatible, which a Mac can't do natively (I think). You're going to have to Boot Camp it.

Aww. That'd be amazing if they did develop it for Mac though. I would finally be able to ditch Windows forever :O

Very much doubt they're going to spend the time or resources to make GW2 work on Mac OS.

Dont count on it buddy. They said they may have Mac for GW1 but never did so. I don't think they will in this situation either :P

It simply comes down to not only writing a version for Macs, but doing all the updates, bug fixes, events, and special weekends too.
