I have a new Intel Mac. No, it can't run on Mac OS for obvious reasons. If you dual boot with Boot Camp then you'll be running Windows and you can play any Windows game on your Mac. You'll have to reboot back and forth though etc.
I have a decent PC that I run for games. It's basically a game console to me now as I don't use it for anything else but games. :P
More then likely won't happen.... ever. The only MMO made for Mac that I know of is WoW, which works pretty good too.
Other games are ported over but not by the original developers usually. Mac doesn't have Direct X so most companies don't even bother with it. Let alone the fact that 6% userbase is not worth the time and money to dev for Mac.
Mac does not have Direct X like someone pointed out. Many companies who use OpenGL instead could create mac versions of their games but most don't.
You could try to use WINE like unix people do and run L2 but from what I hear that doesn't work. Also note Wine on a mac doesn't work well unless it's an intel mac.

SOE released a Mac-version of their Everquest game some time ago, though it took some 4 years for it to appear on shelves after the initial release date.
how are macs better than PC? majority of games released come out for windows.. dont really see many super macs like you do with a PC.. Alienware.. never had any problems with mine that were not user error.

That is something that can start a whole new over-played out flame war. It's more personal preference then anything else. I have both. I even build my own PCs. Windows is fine as long as you don't foolishly get some trojen. Mac's are not perfect either. Personally I like things on both OSs. Though, I won't be getting Vista any time soon.

I agree, there's no point getting on a "this computer is better than this computer" discussion as we are well beyond the "mac/pc" wars.
It really does boil down to personal preference.
I prefer my mac and have since I had a choice. I still have a PC and use it only for games. I work on PC's at work and still prefer my mac.
However, that doesn't mean that my Mac doesn't have its problems.
It's all about what one prefers to work with as both have their strengths and flaws.
Pc's are not the PC of Windows 3.0 nor are the macs the macs of old.
