Excuse me for my ignorance, but I've never really payed attention to the system specifications for GW before, and whether or not it can be played on a macintosh. Im on vacation with my sister's brand new 15-inch macbook pro (not customized) and it seems like it could definetely run GW, so i'm wondering if its possible to get a mac version of the client, since macs cant read .exe files. Anybody have anything helpful?

There is not mac client for guildwars at this time.

Now with Apple's "Boot Camp" you call install windows xp on it and play it that way as long as her mac is off the intel cpu's.

Guild Wars client is designed for Microsoft Windows only.

Technically, you could run GW on a MacBook Pro if you had:
  • A retail Windows XP disc with you (on vacation?)
  • Apple's Boot Camp
  • patience to burn a driver disc/partition the drive/install Windows XP
  • permission to mess with your sister's shiny new MBP

Yeah, a guy here at work became interested in GW after hearing me talk about it, but unfortunately, he has a Mac at home. Sigh.
