Hello, I am Kayar, and I used to play Legions. Back before I had an Xbox and all I had for online gaming was Halo Demo Mac and Instantaction.com, Legions was pretty much my favorite fast-paced shooter. I had a ton of fun on it, and would love to start playing again.
Years ago, before instantaction went down, I actually stopped playing Legions. I assumed this would be a permanent end to my speedy mech-fragging fun. I had an Xbox 360, and the FPSes on the Xbox are all anyone ever plays anyway, right?
Wrong. Dead wrong. Wrong, wrong, stupid, stupid, wrong, wrong, no no no. I found Xbox Live to be even more filled with immature underage idiots and noobtubers than I had expected. Looking back, I realize I had unfortunately high expectations. Perhaps this was because I had grown up on Nintendo consoles and Mac games, few that they are. If anyone here knows of Ambrosia Software, my real first online multiplayer experience was with their old game Avara, when the community consisted of maybe 16 players total and the game was far past the end of its lifespan. Fortunately, I had my friends who had years of Xbox experience on me, and to Microsoft's credit I certainly by no means have given up on Xbox Live, not at all, I just play with everyone muted or always in a party.
This is all besides the point, however. I'm beating around the bush so much the bush is three miles in that direction, so it's time I hiked back over there. The point is, Legions was awesome. I greatly enjoyed it. And, since it was browser-based, for once it didn't matter that I owned a Mac and that barely anyone ever develops games for the Mac. So, years later, I check back and find out that in my absence, instantaction no longer exists, and I find out about Overdrive. And then I find out that it only supports Windows. So, here I am. I'm sure it's very possible this has already been addressed in a previous thread, but it's 12:30 AM here and I'm not going searching through this forum to see what the response was. I would suggest a FAQ, with this question somewhere in it, to make things simple. That is, unless I missed that too.
Anyhow, what I want to know is: Will Legions see a Mac release/port? And before everyone asks, no, I am not buying a PC gaming rig. You cannot convince me, with no amount of touting the PC and the price tag and etc. will you ever convince me. I don't want to get into a Mac vs. PC here, believe me I have seen far too much of that and I hate those arguments because they never go anywhere and I really just don't care enough. I have nothing major against PCs aside from the fact that I'd rather use a Mac, end of story.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
-Kayar
Edit:
Erm, hang on... Embarrassing to say this, but I actually just found and scanned the FAQ and came across the statement about Mac support. Very sorry for posting this here pointlessly, my question is answered. I suppose this could be left here as a dedication to the development team: Thank you for your hard work and I look forward to the possibility of a Mac release in the future.
