Just want to play on a Mac. Any way to?

The file to play is a .exe, which isn't compatible with Macintosh. Is there any file that is, or do us Mac users just not get to play?

Runes of Magic is a Windows game, so you have three options:

1. BootCamp with a legal copy of Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7

2. WINE or WINEskin

3. Some sort of virtualization software such as VMware, but you still need a legal copy of Windows

Not anti mac, but the first thing to keep in mind when choosing a system or OS should be 'Does the OS run what I want it to?'

I run linux normally, but have windows 7 64 installed on an esata drive, left alone the computer boots to linux, press a key at boot, select boot drive and it boots to windows, no boot managers, no boot camp or wine involved.
It does require a drive and a copy of windows.

It's actually much simpler now with only three basic choices, win/mac/linux!
