Question about the Mac version

[Kairobot]

I think that if you install the game on your Mac and log in as usual there is no problem. Only issue I see is if you want the free 30 day trial you get for putting in the registration code which I think is likely not possible with an old account. Also, rumor has it that the Mac version uses a wrapper and does not run on native iOS.

Edit: In addition, I think you would also need to buy the HW expansion and register that to your old account if you want to use your old account to play HW on the Mac version.

Thanks for the reply.

Edit: In addition, I think you would also need to buy the HW expansion and register that to your old account if you want to use your old account to play HW on the Mac version.

Buying the expansion separately means I buy a Windows version of the expansion which can easily be registered to my original account.. but that'd still be on a Windows client. How would I get access to the Mac client if the client only comes in a ARR+HW bundle?

Since they're selling the Mac client as a separate product, that leaves me to believe that they won't allow anyone with an active Windows account to download the Mac client. As opposed to Elder Scrolls Online that is considered a hybrid game out of the box and GuildWars 2 that allows you to download a Mac client.

So if I buy the Mac client (which I'm willing to pay for), I'm effectively starting from scratch (something I'm not keen on) unless there's a way to register the Mac cd-key (bundle) into the original account.

I was wondering if there was any official information on the matter.

Also, rumor has it that the Mac version uses a wrapper and does not run on native iOS.

The devs are working with Transgaming so, yes, it definitely is a wrapper. Wrappers do take less resources than an entire (extra) operating system, though, so I'm okay with that.
